Write a poem that could have this as its title.

The Burden Of Memory

Memories. Such as funny thing it is.


The tv of our mind, each an episode of different emotion.


The knowing presence of happiness, anger and deep sadness that it gives.


Can lift your spirits high like the sun or drag you deeper than the dark ocean.


Happy memories keep the ones who passed alive in our heart.


But the sadness of never making more burdens us both mind and soul.


The burden these memories gives us makes us feel like no matter where they’ve gone we’ll never be apart.


Cherished memories, sad memories carried till our dying breath leaves us to wonder how a weightless memory can be too much of a burden to hold.
