The Cost Of Memories

By Kristy Saikia

The line between 

‘remembering’ and 

‘missing’ often becomes blurry. 

Memories turn into punishment.

Forgetting becomes challenging,

and nostalgia suddenly turns bitter.

Waves of guilt crash on us,

whenever we remember.

Haunted by our past,

we stain our present.

Memories are both 

curses and boons.
