1. Mere Memories by hestiajones

Mere Memories by hestiajones
Memories.
Nothing but brief, vivid memories.

A broken house -
Surrounded by the cold of winter,
Soothed by the love of passers-by,
Standing alone in defiance.

Pregnant, again, with smothered memories.

I have been here, haven’t I?

Why can’t I remember anything else?

All I can see
And hear are
The voices,
The screams,
The jarring laughter.

If only I could have something else,
I would pay whatever price it named.
If only I could have a normal day,
I would readily have it claimed.
If only I could see your faces,
I would…
There is nothing I wouldn’t do.

Sometimes,
Mere memories are not enough.
End Notes:
Thank you for reading. Reviews are really, really appreciated. :)
