Memories merging
Into
One
Nightmares purging
All the
Fun
Sacred prayers are said
In vain
As haunted eyes relive
The pain
As Sadness, Grief, and endless Horror
Flash silently in dreams abhorred
Then cries of anguish, doom, despair
Escape from lips into the air
As simple sounds disturb the night
Startling them with unknown fright
Dawn brings the sun, a fresh new day
Yet weary eyes can’t look away
And ears can’t deafen to the sounds
Of piercing tones from whistling rounds
Then smells return to fool the mind
Of another place, another time
The burden’s heavy and takes
it’s
toll
To traumas burned
within
the soul
And as the pain refreshes, and hope
May fall
The scars may never show
At All.
