Memories Poem by Karen Pedigo

The past comes creeping up again,
Memories haunt me nightly
silience drowns my thoughts
peacefulness feels empty
Memories can be deadly
Sometimes you don't want
what others have
sometimes you want it all
but you still aren't happy
saddness creeps upon your life
you feel alone
facing the world
and what it has to offer
has no meaning
why continue living
if you are only content
and happiness has left you behind
where are you to go
back to the past in memories
clinging to them as if your life
was over
maybe it is or is it not
Memories can be deadly
