The Burden of Memory

Write a poem that could have this as its title.

The Burden Of A Memory

Ruin the memories I have

My foolishness of those moments haunts me

My thoughtless nature keeping any chance of hurt at bay-


They wouldn’t hurt me

They love me

Family.

F for faithful

We hug, we laugh, tell stories, and share smiles

Our perfect perfect smiles, perfect laughs, perfect happiness


Family…

F for false

Fleeting.

Fiery.

Red hot tempers

Flaring.


The hugs were lies

The stories were tainted

The smiles were poisoned with covered up hate.


I thought I wanted my memories ruined

But then you did.

And my mind is drowning in my tainted imagination


I picture the love

I picture the bliss

But it echos the word false…

as it seeps through their teeth
