In every flicker of recollection lies a story-half remembered, half hidden-that shapes who we become. Time rarely grants the luxury of clarity; memories warp with every breath, transforming snapshots of the past into shifting truths. The Half-Life of Memory leads you into the borderlands of forgetting and holding on, where the sharpest revelations often emerge in the quiet, in-between spaces. These poems echo the ways our hearts clutch at what once was, while our minds attempt to sculpt meaning out of what’s left behind. Like a photograph curled at the edges or a diary page scorched by distance, each piece reminds us of the impermanence of all we hold dear-and the silent strength that emerges as we let go. Within these verses, you may find your own echoes: a nostalgia that feels both personal and universal, an ache both poignant and liberating. Whether you read them in hushed solitude or speak them aloud with unguarded passion, the poems invite you to reflect on the chapters that have passed, the moments on the brink of fading, and the unspoken truths still taking shape. May they deepen your appreciation for the fleeting fragments that shape a life-and remind you that, sometimes, what fades leaves behind its most lasting resonance.
