Poetry: Memories

Old memories keep leaping out at me.
Dear God, won't they ever set me free?
Oh the haunting voices that I hear.
Dear God, won't they ever disappear?
I promised to forget and forgive.
Dear God, how long do old memories live?
I want to let them just pass me by
Dear God, don't old memories ever die?
I forget sometimes, but I remember a great deal.
Dear God, will these wounds ever heal?
Sometimes I forget but then something brings them back.
That something leaves me in a world that's cold and black.
Oh please, don't let it hurt me anymore
It's like putting a knife to your most tender sore
I love you and I always will
And now those wounds just might heal
So I'm begging now and that's a fact
Please don't be the something that brings old memories back

    The day when my life felt complete

    YOU CAN'T FORGET

    You hold your chin up,
    higher than you should...
    you have so much more pride,
    than I ever could.

    You walk so
