Looking forward looking backward

The pain never really goes away. They are less defined now, but when they come they grip her strong like a drowning body.

They are only sliver of memories, but their sudden outburst in her mind - like fireworks, when she is already on the verge of forgetting him, the verge of moving on from the endless thought of him during the day and the sight of him in her dreams at night - made her kneel down on the floor, right there in the kitchen, to catch her breath and her sudden dizziness.

She wish she could end it all by ending herself.
