Betrayed by Memory

Our mind has a way of turning its back on us, doesn't it?

When did it betray me? An image

triggering a memory, a

song heard on the radio,

or perhaps a familiar perfume?

Either way, it has betrayed me

by making me remember,

thus, causing my heart pain

again. I commanded it to quiet

down - stop its ebb and flow

of memories buried long ago.

Yet, here they return,

wounding me and sparking

anger. Violent uncontrollable

wrath. All because of a triggering

memory. My mind has betrayed me

again. Causing me unbearable pain

again.
