The Memory That Kills Poem by Max Soon

The faces in the photos all too familiar,
Laughing, crying all together,
So attached we thought it would be forever.

The human heart, so vulnerable,
A little memory can make you cry forever,
I thought holding it in, I would be able,
But the feelings just poured out without me giving orders.

Time flies and it has been a year,
I started to forget names, and panicked in fear,
It hurts so bad there is no cure,
for I know we wouldn't unite again here.

Grasping the memories not letting go,
Letting it dwell, Letting it flow,
Inside of me, hurting my soul.
