~Memories~

There is a dwelling place in the back of my mind where memories reside.
Some ,I intentionally look for. I find them, dust them off and welcome them with open arms.
A few are hidden away,off limits so to speak... laying amidst the cobwebs... obedient to stay where I have placed them.
Others I cant get away from try as I may.
Ever before me, displaying their menacing smiles.
I put them away, lock them up tight and shut the door.
Still, they find their way back... piercing my heart again and again.
I look them full in the face as I utter the words....
"What must I do to finally be rid of you?"
