Beast of Remembrance

The heart is being shredded beyond repair.
The mind is possessed by visions,
Trapped by words,
And driven mad with confusion.
A merciless beast haunts a wretched soul
As it screams, cries,
And begs time for salvation.
An entire being choked by bombardments,
Kneels down to plead for forgetfulness.
It is a prayer to snatch away
The memories of previous years and days,
To step on the dead leaves of a past spring.
But the beast can’t rest.
It crumbles the person’s peace of mind,
And trifles with his loose grab on reality.
As it allows him one final glimpse at sanity,
A bitter sting of regret is instantaneously sensed.
