memories

secrets kept and promises broken,

left behind like old tokens,

something to remember happier days.

tucked in boxes and packed away,

things you want to get rid of,

but you know you'll regret one day.

things we want to forget,

melancholy memories,

are all we have left of better days.

we know they hurt,

oh how they sting,

but like old friends they'll never leave.

short but true in ways and has a loft of pain

A very true and descriptive poem of the painfully familliure nature of memories ^^ nice work
