The Burden of Memory

Write a poem that could have this as its title.

Burden of a Memory

I remember the warmth

of your breath on my face

in the prickly cold


How you used to hold me

as tears streamed down my cheeks

you saying how it’ll be alright,

when it felt like anything but.


The burden of a memory,

is heavier than all else in this world


Even when you try to drown it out,

those once lovely times,

have turned into a monster

that refuses to let you free of its claws.
