In Memory

In Memory

A Poem by 송지석 / Ji-Suk

All the moments of tears
It seems like a winter dream
One day when the sun is clear suddenly 
Like the rain that came down
I remember the memories that filled my heart
When I feel my heart again

That moment of our unhappiness
When it rains,
I'm sorry that I have not done much because I was scared and foolish.
Hiding tears in falling rain

Memories of that day I was violently sick
I had no one to hold onto but my brother's warm hand
I could only hear the angry tone of mother and the sound of fist hitting from father

I don't miss that day 
Against the wall with you, our black eyes and bruises covering our bodies 
The day we are surrounded by violent adults
I still feel the memories
If you look at you for a long time, your tears will be half as fast.
We have walked together through the hardest moments and our scars still haven't healed
It was a memorable memory for you too.
You are the light of my dark dreams
I do not want to break out of this dream.

One day when the sun is clear suddenly 
Like the rain that came down
I remember the memories that filled my heart
When I feel my heart again

That moment of our unhappiness
When it rains,
I'm sorry that I have not done much because I was scared and foolish.
Hiding tears in falling rain

Memories of that day I was violently sick
I had no one to hold onto but my brother's warm hand
I could only hear the angry tone of mother and the sound of fist hitting from father

Everything that permeates me
Everyone flew away and we were left alone in that alchohol smelling home 

After our time
Let's meet again and hope for a brighter future 
I'll laugh with you
I'm glad I can keep that promise like this

this bad memory should be best forgotten

When something triggers bad memories a flooding of emotions can overwhelm our thoughts: Your sadly
poignant poem of abuse is both brave and challenging. Just a note: Was it your intention to repeat the stanzas:

That moment of our unhappiness
When it rains,
I'm sorry that I have not done much because I was scared and foolish.
Hiding tears in falling rain

Memories of that day I was violently sick
I had no one to hold onto but my brother's warm hand
I could only hear the angry tone of mother and the sound of fist hitting from father
