Memories Beyond the Door
It's strange the memories that we keep
Or the dreams we dream when we sleep
Some memories are just too hard to find
While others are etched deep within our mind
The memory of that first kiss
fills my heart with glee
The memory of loved ones lost
Let those tears flow free
Childhood memories that bring pleasure
In the mind are safely kept
And when I wish to explore them further
I do so at my leisure
But there is a door inside the mind
Beyond which we do not go
The most painful memories are stored there
To revisit them brings back all the fears
And so you keep them locked away
Never to see the light of day
