Having relived the past within the memories I have kept,
has done nothing more,
but
to
deepen
my depression as drearily I retraced every footstep I had taken…
I regret having done so; facing what I had
previously
faced.
Feeling the same sorrow and pain which h I had previously felt…
It has always led to my
detriment.
Reliving is what I grew to despise. She never portrayed herself
as being an opportunist. One, taking advantage
of a situation, leaving those less
fortunate fending for
themselves.
Rather, she preferred to be identified as being a vague memory
thought of every now and then, but less
often than not.
Depending on how long she chose to remain in close proximity.
I
remember she, whispering…
” I am sending you love and light, praying you will not feel alone
within the darkness, you lie struggling within.”
Never
had
i
felt more alone, until she.
of love and guidance; as a brightly shining star
she stood beside
me,
never faltering whenever I stumbled and fell when faced with the
daily uncertainties
one faces
when
mired with life’s difficulties, giving me the strength to continue on
knowing, if her light ever grew dim, I would be lost
without her for an eternity.
Within the absence
of your tears
you have
lain
emotionless, expressionless, and I cannot read the words which lie
within your eyes. The sentences and paragraphs
which fall silently upon your
lips. How may i
comfort
you
when your feelings are not known. Therein lies a void
within the universe, an emptiness
cannot be filled.
For you to
have
become as lost as you are, and I, reaching, unable to grasp
a remembrance of your love.
Were thee to weep
I would find
thee.
In between breaths, after she had inhaled and exhaled.
Before awaiting to take another breath,
She thought of those who may
lay suffocating whilst
struggling
with
what had left them breathless? If their lives were slowly fading…
She silently wept for them,
the image she
felt
excruciatingly painful, the loss of a loved one or a lifelong friend.
Realizing, at any time in her life, she would become
one of them, those dying, wanting nothing
more, but to take another
breath.
Decidedly difficult, clearly her present state, if
one was to clarify, by her own definition,
one extremely independent, not
not governed by the rules
of men.

How We Fall into the Trap of Complaining

November 10, 2025

Stories are the best way to communicate. If you want to know a person, know their story. You will understand the person, rather than going by the gestures and the dressing sense.

Do you also have a story that you want the world to know, then share it with us at submitstories.storyofsouls@gmail.com. 

We are also giving mileage to young students who can be our young authors by  sharing their already written content with us, that will go live with their name credits.
