Chains

Sweetest are the voices that call from the past.

Sometimes loud and other times barely a whisper.

They are weighed down with memories held fast,

the struggles, binding the emotions further.

Nothing in the “now” can compare to the “then”,

a brain short circuited and set to repeat continues

to haunt the heart with echoes, what could of been,

or worse of all, what never ever was.
