good memories are the umbilical cord
that keeps us tied to life,
even at the brink of madness
we hang on to the good memories
while what's bad seeks to pull us over
the edge into the abysmal.
Cling tightly to all the good
that was wrought into this twisted cord
that connects to your heart,
and when you regain your balance,
severe the cord and let it trail behind you
till someone becomes dearly attached to you again
and feeds you more of love and life's finest treats
