Poems

Lost In a Memory

A mind holds many things.
Even the most painful memories.
We can never move forward, we only go back.
Do you know what memory you're in? Have I too lost track?
We hold on so tight and we don't want to forget.
So now we're lost in our memories with no escape yet.
When we try to let go, we become shackled.
The memory grins and taunts and cackles.
We cry tears from the past because we can't let go.
Is holding on really worth the sorrow?
