treetop drops
as wind whispers
of yesterdays best forgotten
mind recoils
clutching...
at the delicate branches
...of survival
remembrance is a bitch
fingernails down window panes
...the pain...
of lullabies gone awry
& when that bough broke
it was one helluva fall

Oof, that's powerful. It really hits you with that raw feeling of struggling with painful memories. "Remembrance is a bitch" - yeah, I felt that. It's a really vivid portrayal of trying to hold on when everything feels like it's crashing down.

It's never like the sweet tune of lullabies. But it's certainly the recognition of the cradle falling, isn't it? Thank you, Mr Black

When childhood is less than idyllic, we carry those memories like scars. They fade but don't go away. Sometimes they ache like fucking hell. Thank you, sis 💖
