The Burden of Memory
Write a poem that could have this as its title.
The Burden Of Memory
Sucked into a spiral of consuming thoughts
I longed for the moment when I had none
The memory of her wouldn’t fade away
Her delicate features, and loosely tied bun
The anchor to my life
My only beloved wife
Her mind torn and worn
Leaving me empty and forlorn
Maybe if I had cared for her more
Maybe if I had noticed the pattern
She’d still be by my side
And my will wouldn’t have flattened
