Unpurged Sad Memories

They linger deep within my fragile soul unpurged sad memories from long ago. I wonder when again I will be whole, and free this dreadful mental vertigo. Mistakes of shattered youth, my life lived so uncouth, but knowing now the truth… I was at fault… I could not halt my life’s exalt. Today the whisper of a common troll to make me ever blue and feel so low; so now I soothe, with gin and dry vermouth, my mind’s assault.
