No Greater Sorrow

Past memories linger,

Scrolling by on a slideshow,

Painted black and white

Sitting in summer shade,

Resplendent rays of sunlight

Glaring down, light prevailing

Over all

Back in time,

The carefree happiness

Of lost days

Those snapshots haunt me,

Smiling faces mocking,

Laughing at where I am now

Tears stream down my face,

And past pale quivering lips,

My vision blurring

The bittersweet images

Surrounding me

I want to escape

From this hell

Please,

Let me go
