The Burden of Memory
Write a poem that could have this as its title.
The Burden of Memory
I loved you
You liked me
I thought we were perfect
To you it was just a fling
And the night you left
I was broken
Lost
Vulnerable
So I built walls around my heart
Tall and thick
Able to withstand almost anything
But every now and then
I smell your axe
Walking through the mall
I taste the last of your favorite whiskey
Trying to keep it together
I see your shadow
On every wall in my room
I feel your arms
Holding me tight
I hear your voice
Echoing in my head
But you’re not there
I am alone.
