Memories Past
The agonies of memories past
entreat within my mind
I struggle with the pleas of self
to dispel then all in kind
Never shall I find the peace
which grants a kindred soul
For presently I battle demons
who wish to take control
I hesitate for but a moment
wondering where to turn
And as each passing day goes by
the countless embers burn
Must I swelter in the heat
of endless tortured flames
Or shall I conquer and prevail
to rise above the pain
Will Death relinquish all it's hold
and allow me to be free
With promises of blissful sleep
that's void of misery
