“Do not allow me to forget you.” Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
These memories born
of bone and sinew
enfleshed with love and
breath of life,
how soon they become familiar,
held in a contempt,
a forgetting that
slowly grows like a cancer
around the heart,
that ground of love

Contempt is the death knell in a relationship. I felt someone else’s pain reading this and a sense of disquiet. I do love the last line. How powerful your words!

We all share many similar memories. Retracing (even thru writings or other forms of expressions) bitter or sweet times, gives clarity to our growth at understanding. A touching share Paul!
