They come and they go
Stirring emotional nightmares
Scarring regretable memories
Loosening nails that you've hammered into your coffin of the non-forgiving past

They come and they go
Reminders of the wasted days
Or grudge holding thoughts
A verification that it was always more than the nightmare you pretended it to be.      


They come and they go
Gripping tightly to your chest
Suffocating the breath you beg God to take from you
Still you breathe
And still you know

They come and they go
But they only stay for the duration that your eyes rest upon his picture

And when you look away
They're gone

I really liked this particular stanza, it's very easy to relate to for me. Lovely poem, and it's headed for my library.
