As thoughts of you come pouring in
I find myself in a pool of pain
It cuts deep and fast
I am sufficating
I gasp
But there is no air to revive me
Mind trembling agony
And the sure wit of truth
Truth of remembrance
Truth of absence
I close my eyes trying to escape
The visions only come clearer
Memories play like movies
Only on repeat
I can't rewind and edit
Can't change the past
I lay weak and broken
Cold and dead
As if my heart is shattered
And frozen
I become numb to the bitterness
I become resistant to the pain
I become acceptance towards the memories
They are there for a reason
But memories are memories
Not to be relived
