Memories

 

Sunlight, then dark nights

This is my world.

 

Sleeping and weeping,

Fears encompassing

 

Sitting or standing,

Walking or Running

 

I can't get away

They won't set me free.

 

Controlling,

    All-knowing,

        Provocative,

           Deceiving,

              Perpetual

                 Never-leaving

 

They won't set me free!

 

When will the hauntings stop?

When will the fear disappear?

When will my pain be eased?

 

Oh where is the Balm of Gilead?

Where is my Comforter/Protector?

I need the cleft in the rock

 

O Lord, save me from the Memories.
