Heavy Memories

Darkness.

Soundless.

A movement.
Heartbeat.
Steady,
like the pace of a drum.

Flickers.
Pictures.
Memories,
filling the silence,
decreasing the emptiness.

Helplessness,
like screaming without a voice.
At the brink of panic.
Tossing,
turning,
just below the surface.
Trapped
in echoes of the past in the night.

Sleep,
sleep.
It’s just a dream.


Want to forget.
Can I forgive?
Will it be over
or do the past
has a nasty habit
of repeating itself?

Hush,
sleep,
this time it’s just a dream.











It’s been too long since I last posted a poem here. Problem is that I can’t seem to be creative during summer. Oh, well, it’s autumn now so let’s hope for the best…

What's in a name?:

Want to forget.
Can I forgive?
Will it be over
or do the past
has a nasty habit
of repeating itself?


That part really stands out to me as being about shell shock. The rest of the poem is a great description of what night terrors can be like. Great job!

This will perhaps sound like a stupid question but I’ll have to admit that I don’t quite get what you mean by ”shell shock”. As for the rest of the comment: thank you very much Smile

Shell shock is a slang term for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Ah, I see. Well, since English isn’t my native language you pretty much lose me when you use slang Wink


ignorance is bliss.:
that's truly amazing.
