PAINFUL MEMORIES
Everyone has a dungeon in their heart
occupied by memories of pain and fear
where they sit to be forgotten and lost
but they don’t disappear but ruminate
not thinking of them doesn’t kill them
but writing them away to a forgiveness
is the only remedy that manifests effect
in sending the pain and suffering away
to the black hole where they all belong
however there is a different kind of pain
in the acknowledgment of your suffering
to yourself and to the ink put to paper
the thistle of accepting what happened.
