Broken

The long days slowly eased themselves away.
Only the sad, haunting memories remain.
Swimming back into my mind; never ending.
If they do not vanish, I feel I may go insane.

Burning a hole through my heart, they continue.
Never releasing their torturous hold on me.
Over they go, just on that one venue.
If only the others would try to see.

Why must I keep remembering that time?
I blinked my eyes and everything was lost.
Grief and sorrow filled the air, a true crime.
To regain freedom at all cost.

So many sad tears, way too many to bear.
Have you ever felt such pain, such despair?
