Flickering Memories

by Whitney Graham   Feb 9, 2011


I sit here staring at the wall
With memories of you flickering in my head.
Moments earlier you stood next to her holding her hand.
I thought you were mine forever.
Now I know forever does not exist.
Seeing you with her felt like I was suffocating.
I try so hard to cry, but something is blocking me.
My heart is so hard now that I can�t feel any emotion anymore.
You�ve pushed me so far into this dark hole and I can�t escape.
The only person a loved took the heart we shared and ripped it.
I stand in the mirror and see my hollow reflection.
This pain shreds my body and the wounds will not heal.
Numbness is taking over my veins and is holding me tightly.
My vision blurs and all I see is blackness.
My bones become limp and I fall to the ground.
The flickering memories cease and my heart stops.
As I slip deeper into the darkness, my body starts to turn to ash.
Slowly, my body and soul become nothing.
