The Burden of Memory

Write a poem that could have this as its title.

The Burden Of Memory

As memories float around, my brain dims

Light fading out

Replaced by darkness

The memories caught in the darkness,

They fade into the shadows

Like they were never there

And in the midst of all the chaos


One memory


A memory i could never forget

Burned into my brain

Fiery hot

Like a cow brand was pushed into my skull

I can’t forget it

Please spare that


One memory


But the thing is,

When you die you have no control over what you lose

In my mind there was fire

Burning hot

Raging through my subconscious

There was no way to stop it

That memory burned

Ashes floating away as i closed my eyes

And went to sleep forever
