POEM STARTER
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
The Burden of Memory
Write a poem that could have this as its title.
Memory Burdens
This is goodbye
Hanging on the edge
Watching the stars
Fall from the sky
When will they know
How broken Sundays are?
Rolling round like aching stones
Forced to make a show.
Tearing scenes apart
To find who you are
Glass of something on the side
Screaming with a broken heart
Know who you are
Know who you are
Forbidden winds moan
Look to the distant lights
Catch them tonight
See how they grow
When will they know
How broken Sundays are?
Rolling round like aching stones
Forced to make a show.
Sorrow like snow
Burns like fire
Never felt so high
Never been so low
Mind eaten away
A final step
Out onto the abyss
Don’t want to stay
Tearing scenes apart
To find who you are
Glass of something on the side
Screaming with a broken heart
Know who you are
Know who you are
Know who you are
