In her pensive mood intruded the strains of music
Blinking back a tear, she wiped her face
The song brought back bittersweet memories
Of someone, she thought long buried in the past
Like a flickering candle flame these memories
Were elusive and mercurial, difficult to hold on to
Not the one to inflict pain needlessly on to herself
She firmly cloistered the memories in that unreachable
Place in her heart, where all hurtful emotions were stored
