Distant Memories (Poem)

[Next_of_Kin]

Distant Memories

Memories devour,
Masticating upon,
Sense and senility,
No longer strong,
Resistance eroded,
Passage of time,
Willfully abandon,
Vein sublime.
Twisted core,
Wretched mind,
Vengeance sought,
But undefined,
Reprisal passed,
Given by proxy,
Blood spilt freely,
Ritual with moxy.
Desperate thoughts,
Bequeath pain,
Everlasting image,
Resilience in vain,
Misplaced hatred,
Mutilated flesh,
Erroneous blood,
Horrors unvanquished.
