    Darkness
    For a moment, just one moment, I forgot.
    The sounds around me we're able to drown out the negative thoughts in my head and I forgot.
    The site of the target ahead, the feel of the trigger beneath my finger stanched the bleeding of my heart and I forgot.
    for one beautiful moment I didn't even realize I was experiencing, I forgot.
    For a moment, just one moment, I forgot.

    The sounds around me we're able to drown out the negative thoughts in my head and I forgot.

    The site of the target ahead, the feel of the trigger beneath my finger stanched the bleeding of my heart and I forgot.

    For one beautiful moment I didn't even realize I was experiencing, I forgot.

    Then I stepped out into the dark and I remembered.

    At first literally and then my literal turned into figurative and I remembered.

    In the dark, alone once again, it all came back and I remembered.

    The negative thoughts grew loud again and my heart started bleeding again and I remembered.

    I don't want to remember, I just want to forget.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
