Between Loss and Remains

By Ayat M. Shabeeb

There are things the mind forgets.Small things.
A name you heard once.
A conversation that seemed unimportant.
A face from a passing crowd.
Those things disappear quietly.
Nobody searches for them.
Nobody mourns their absence.
But there are other things...Things that are not supposed to leave.
Things that become part of who you are.
Things that divide a life into a before and an after.
He could not understand.
Not the loss nor the silence.
Not the emptiness that had settled into the rooms.
Only one thing.
The forgetting.
How could something so important disappear?
How could a person forget the very thing that changed them?
How could a heart carry a wound that the mind refused to name?
The question followed him everywhere.
How did I forget?
*****
Haunted by what he could not change and unable to accept what was already gone, he finds himself caught between memories and reality, between the life he wants to preserve and the remains of what he has already lost.
Between Loss and Remains is a quiet psychological story about grief, guilt, regret, and the devastating consequences of refusing to let go.
In trying to preserve what is, you lost what remained.
