unrelenting memories

lisztmsv

in the dimness & spark of light

i stumbled into the night.

i fell into an endless abyss.

restlessness threatens to swallow me

whole, it burdens my soul.

dreams cloud my thoughts,

my memories are muddled,

it is not subtle.

nightmares elude the crevices of my mind,

i'm binded to them.

fore i can never run fast enough

to escape what holds true

the memories of you.

  • Comment from author about the poem: This one is more hard to describe. Lately I've dreamt about my most haunting memories that I dislike remembering. They take me too close to home. Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning in my memories. I wonder if everyone or anyone feels similar.

    'it is not subtle.'
    such relatable words, dear poet
    but why, I wonder
    there is so much our awareness
    glides past, in every moment
    yet, that we find traumatic
    or merely problematic, is shoved
    into our blinking awareness
    like seating, front-row at the cinema
    head tilted back
    screen larger than the universe
    sound as deafening as a scared pulse
    and there on endless repeat
    is our nightmares, manifested
    in every way fantastical..
    I think some of us should get medals
    for daring to sleep...
    lol

    Powerful. Memories can have such a hold. Well done.
