Stolen Moment

A moment lost I cry for now. Memories fuzzed by the event that stole from me. I long for that moment back to piece together this shattered self I am. Confusion mounts as I slowly slip further away. More determine than ever to regain the time gone. Most know not this anger I feel. How it comes to life and consumes my time. It slips further away each time I try. Failure to receive that memory lost angers me further to a breaking point. Angry I am I push away from those who do not understand. Bitter angers wells inside me to all I am is an emptied shell. For the stolen moment I remember not.

Very compelling, Donna. Be assured that many of us struggle to revive those "stolen moments." The memory will come back to you when you least expect it, probably just as you are falling asleep. But the overwhelming sense of loss this moment caused will take time to heal. You evoke sadness and compassion from the reader. A hearfelt write that bares your precious soul, Donna. Love, Carolyn
