Memory

A short poem I wrote just for fun. :P In the perspective of a Memory, writing a letter to whomever you decide. Picture credit: Camsy Craze Photography

My name is Memory

I lay within the broken bones of a young girl

Her mind is a graveyard

A maze composed of ancient tombstones

The war had ended

Demons still lingered

She tried to push them back into the musty soil

but the holes in the ground had already sealed shut

leaving no room for internal escape

Slowly, the dead souls streamed down her pale face

but not one could see them

For they were her warriors

and her's only

My name is Memory

and I had slaughtered those warriors

Savage it was

Ruthless it was

A deed it was

but don't blame me

For I am simply a

  -Memory

" I lay within the broken bones of a young girl."
A visual a young girl broken by circumstances, life. "Her mind a graveyard" secrets, darkness, maybe what broke her spirit. Well done.
