I REMEMBER TOO MUCH

I remember pain

I remember crying

Tears that never ceased

I remember loneliness

Being cast aside

Bitter memories are these

I remember struggling

To take care of mum

To take care of me

I remember weariness

It weighed down my soul

And dissipated my hope

I remember too much

Of that which I lost

While youth and life flew by

But I survived, I survived

With such great cost

And such bitter memories
