Melancholy Memory

I wish to forget
Roams of a sad event
Here again my heart goes
MEMORIES.

Nightly and alone
The scars are vivid now
My earnest reminder
Of that night.

In the Sanctuary
Was where the night went
As currents flowed my soul 
Eating me.

The two wires held me
Breaking me, sucking me
My cries were shouts of help
I was dead.

I could see heavens
But the time was not yet
A hand pulled me , mother's
And I live.
