Must I


Must I always remember
those things I must forget?
Must I always feel the pain,
and the sorrow,
and the unholiness of a death
I cannot die?
Must I always walk the earth
embalmed with the memories
of another time?
Must I always know her
as an ache,
and love her
as a memory that's gone,
yet refuses to die?
Must I…?
Must I…?

This poem is so full of real pain, and so well done. Really made me try to feel these feelings.

This cry is world wide, and felt by all, the injustices of memories returning.
and yes you must, but use it to grow, use it as a stepping stone, in life.
this is a very great heartfelt poem.
Joel.

 I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.

It is hard, and why do people continually hurt othes cos they are hurting!!  Oh the injustices in life! *sigh*  But it does ease up some as you journey on through life.
Joel (my online Dad) speaks wisely!!  
Wonderfully written hun..

 At last I have heard the song of enlightenment.... In your heart you can hear it now, if you listen....
It is the song your spirit has been singing since the moment of your birth. All lasting victories are won in the heart....
