Memorialize

It's often easiest to just express
The puddled feelings of a moment's thought;
The problem is when one starts to obsess
About the moment, and the pain it brought.
To disentangle how the moment felt
From how you ought to feel, remembering
Is difficult: the two so often melt
Into one entity. A memory can bring
Too much reality along with it,
While times of deep remembrance seem to touch
The past directly. Therefore bit by bit
They slide into each other far too much
For easy disassociation, so
The boundary between them starts to go.
