Answer 1

painful memories are relentless.
they refuse to leave us alone.
the optimist might point out
that a happy memory may stay with you just as long as one that makes you miserable,
but what they forget to mention is
what you remember softens over time.
the edges blur and the details fade.
what you recall is simply
that you were happy.
not necessarily the individual details that brought about the happiness.
the memory of something painful does just the opposite.
It retains its original shape.
every time you recall it
you get a punch to the stomach
that leaves you incapable of breathing.
it settles deep inside;
an unmovable stone
gradually crushing our lungs.
the memory of something painful hurts long after the actual event.
the injury hurts anew each and every time it creeps back inside our mind.
