Memories are painful…

Chocolate cookies remind me of Sonali,

Her big eyes, mischievous smile chiseled in buck teeth.

Even though she is living a life of deceit and lies,

I still think of her

Just like painful memories.

 

The memories are embedded in my mind’s eye, and in my soul.

Tried to shake them loose like the falling leaves in the beginning of the fall,

But it does not want to detach from its existence,

It is adamant and tenaciously clinging on my core of consciousness.
