Memories

She dreams of many things whilst wading through the pools of memories.

She hears laughter of children, lovers and friends, a melodious bell of a sound that brings joy.

She sees the grief and sorrow planted on others faces as they mourn for those lost to time and fate.

She feels the string tug at her heart, her soul crying out for closure.

She doesn't know why, but someone is calling out to her. 

Despair. 

Desperation. 

Fear. 

Hope. 

Pure, unbridled love.

It's there in their voice, in their heart as the string once again tugs, attempting to pull her to whomever is calling. 

But she resists. 

Everytime.

She doesn't have the strength.

She doesn't have the willpower to move forward.

She doesn't have the courage to seek out whoever is calling out.

Her heart sinks as she speaks, her voice an echo in the pools of memories and dreams her mind inhabits.

Please…..
