Lost memories

The voices in my head

ever echoing their pleading cries

I can see the memories they hold at bay,

that barely escape my reaching grasp

just like that, I was falling

farther and farther I plunged

Into the dark bliss of my mind

I look back and I can't see it

the memories were only a daydream

a lost fragment of the past

fear consumes my mind

fear of what those memories contain

It's the unknown I fear most

that rips and tears at my mind
