Future Memories

Phoenix8523

There is a box inside my head…

A box I didn’t know existed

 

All along it’s been there seeping…

Calling to me to know it’s there

 

A Pandora’s box – with all my sorrows

Pent up over all these years

 

Recently, it burst open

And flooded all my senses

 

The sight and sound,

the smell and taste

And definitely the touch

Of all that pain

I’ve held onto,

Since my time here began

 

It took me by surprise

And dropped me to my knees

 

One after another the scenes played out

And haunt me still today

 

And for every memory

that slapped me in the face…

Three more are hidden,

To just wait

To wound me

ever deeper…

    In the original mythology pandora actually has a jar, not a box. But besides that, it's good.

    Now this is just great - the whole rhythm and the way it all flows - super piece of writing.
