Memories are like water. They slip through your fingers, Slippery and nimble. They are like a beam of moonlight, Breaking through the darkness of my thoughts, Memories of better times. They are the stars through the black, That may be hidden but never go away. They can shine bright as the sun, Keeping my mind bright and warm and safe. But they can also spread darkness, A plague spreading through my mind. Overcast skies and guilty thoughts. But I am learning to fight it. Memories against memories. Making new, better ones each day. I will win.
