The Burden of Memory

Write a poem that could have this as its title.

The Burden Of A Memory

So soft and sour


With whispers that run like feet


Fire is a word both beautiful and deadly


And it’s one that you deserve


You were a smile that lasted too long


The sunlight that cuts your eyes too sharp


If only you took the pain as pleasure


And the pleasure as pain


You took too much


I regret you


Though I don’t apologize


Because I see you as a fire


Truely torturing yet tentative
