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
