Memories

memories, painful enough to kill

   inch by inch, chewing up your insides...

faces flash past, glances chance, smiles fade

   but the look in those eyes

     eternal engravings on the walls of the mind...

memories of the dead pass by in peace

     silent couplets of fond memories...

memories of the yet living

   a drug you choose to take

      kill yourself with painful pleasure

           else ignite your veins with a spark of vengeance...

eternal engravings on the walls of the mind...

i love this phrase, oh by the way did you notice that your poem is shaped like a wave? is it on perpose? if it is then it looks AMAZING, if not, then it still looks AMAZING!,Great write, memories can bring bad feelings back and break our hearts yet again, but on the other hand some memories allow us to live amazing moments again, only to fade away and leave us with hang over
i tell you, memories and dreams are much like drinking, they give you temporary pleasure then go away leaving you with the worst hangover ever!
again great write!
