The Night I Dreamt My Memories

Memories that flooded through
Blocked out by my minds taboo
Walls crashed down with no repair
Silence through this solitaire.

Thoughts that I wished to block out
Remind me what I write about
Stories that I wished were lost
Come rushing back at quiet a cost.

I do not pay in coins you see
To recall what I used to be
For this delicate reverie
I pay the cost with sanity.

The author of this awful fable
Reminds me how I'm quiet unable
To forget of what I've seen
A twisted mind feelings, obscene.

Living through this hell of pain
A truthful smile, never again
Emotions that I hid down deep
Is what disturbs my troublesome sleep.

Despair and envy beat the drum
Keeping time, rhythm is numb
Help me with my escape from
All of that what I've become.

A peaceful sleep is all I ask
Not another hopeless task
Lay me down and let me be
Departed from my memories.
