a moment lasts a life time
as it echoes through the mind
flash backs are forever
keeping us confined
a sound, a shadow
a touch or smell
instantly transports you
back to that living hell
a memory from nowhere
tears upon the cheek
cursing at the lack of strength
at why you feel so weak
a moment lasts a life time
with a memory from hell
even when you know your safe
your reactions always tell
i love this poem its a perfect way to explain a bad memory of something...at least to me it is. it brings me back to a place i normally wouldnt like but when reading this it almost makes that memory beautiful
