Honestly

Hiding from my memories
Otherwise they'll submerse me
Eyes wide shut
They're all I can see
Honestly.
I'd rather be blind

Searching none for displaced air
Running out, getting nowhere
Child's play
Fate accepts my dare
Honestly.
I'm getting away

Clenching my jaw in moonlit glow
Breathing in the scent I know
Merely a stranger
Blatant trust shows
Honestly.
You're blissfully blind

Sleeping for not is a fact now
Lest no rest these lies allow
Hush little baby
Apart from motherly sow
Honestly.
She searches no longer

Crashing in the devil creeps
Yet this night my darling sleeps
Repose young soul
Demons play for keeps
Honestly.
They never seem to learn

Memories can be good or bad. They can consume us or we can learn from them and go forward a better person. Keep the creative pen flowing and entertain us with your words. Sara
