All That I Have

A memory of a time long gone, in which I stood by my beloved blossom tree. I would run around the field where Majesty no longer stands. I would climb her and imagine I was on a mighty ship, bound on a voyage. Those days I treasure, The ‘happy days’, I call them now, before it began. Before the running, before the hiding, Before the fear that will now forever live inside me. Before I would leave my home, my family, my country for safety, Before the only person I would have was me, Before I would experience the worst place on earth. Before I would escape, against all odds, Before HE would destroy my world. Those days are all I have now, The smiles I used to wear, Back when I used to live, As now I just … exist. I know that life will never be like that again, I will never again know true happiness. I still cling to those memories, All that I have.
