748. Poem by Jaden Knight

Memories can be double edged swords
slicing through the tangles of the past
clearing a way for the future
whichever path you wish to choose

Mine are like claymores within their sheaves
dangling from racks along the walls
each one can be used in different situations
whenever the need arises

They can unfortunately cut both ways
leaving their marks on both body and mind
tears can pour as well as blood
the scars can be slow to heal and fade

Sadly age can dull the blades
and make them less effective with time
memories can be double edged swords
and mine are crying out for a grindstone
