ECHOES
E very time I try to forget
C losing the heartbreak door
H aunting conversations repeat
O pening wounds from before
E ver present reverberations
S tubbornly stuck in my core

Wonderful job with this acrostic, Mindy. It's so sad, but it strikes at the heart of who we are as human beings.
ReplyDeleteYou've written it truthfully, hard to forget those 'echoes' in one's mind.
