Images

Images,

They scratch, they scar, they sear,

They haunt my living memories,

My waking dreams,

Every minute, every second,

These images.

Images,

They make me weep,

They make me bleed,

Faith, belief, Hope, destiny,

Flow away with the bloody eddies,

These images.

Images,

They shroud the horizon,

They skewer my aching being,

Lost meaning, shattered life,

Depictions that mock me,

These images.

Images,

These dreadful haunting images.
