Unpurged Sad Memories

Unpurged sad memories



Unpurged sad memories dripping.. now flood,
Coursing through my body a shrill shudder.
Scream a fragile whisper stuck in soft mud,
     A muted howl could I scarcely utter.
     Silence must be shattered
     To show him I matter
     Else my blood will splatter.
                            A deathly pyre
          Of hot blue fire
          Dreadful quagmire 
Freedom from fear boiling brightly my blood,
Start steamy screams I silently splutter.
Accept, forgiveness, self love I stammer,
                            I will aspire.
