Shards of Yesterday

By Jet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Drowning in a sea of memories. Where shards of yesterday Can still hold their sting. And the hunter becomes the prey. Persued by the demons of my past. Hunted by dark wraiths, That linger like the echoes Of a long lost faith. Specters of pain That I once thought were dead. Have returned once again To mess with my head. Visions of a hurt buried long ago. The silence broken by screams And the soft tinkling Of shattering dreams. It's only a game. Idle amusement for you. If only you had a taste Of what you put me through. The ruins of my life Collapse around me. The night steals my hope What does it take to break free?Right...Okay..Don't know where this came from...I blame too much homework...Let me know..
