Memories

So many memories come flooding back to me,

So many memories, painful ones to see,

My first love, I thought was real stuff,

It turns out that I wasn’t enough,

Then there was all of his friends,

Sharing seemed to be their trends,

I left them all behind and found another,

After a while we began to smother each other,

He wasn’t mature and I was his first,

Soon our love grew to hatred and dispersed,

There were so many more that I adored,

All seemed that they eventually got bored,

It took some time to allow my heart to heal,

Then I had to build a shield of hard steel,

They all did an act, then abuse, and neglect,

I didn’t deserve it, I had to disconnect,

I finally left it all behind,

I found someone loving and kind,

A traumatic journey, but worth it in the end,

From it, I gained a life long friend.

Dig in your yesterday to seek your tomorrow way

Memories are sculptured in our soul

As hard as engraved words on a stone

And no future wind shall make memories vanish

Because, it is so deep to the bone
