I curse the fact
that as I get older,
some things from 'way back
in my memories
seem to fade a bit,
to gray out...
except
certain memories,-
those are still so sharp
that they cut,
like a razor-sharp blade,
and make me bleed
in my mind
and in my heart...
those are
the memories of you.

nice writing Shiloh

Must be traumatic. I guess because I haven't the slightest clue as to how it feels to be in the military, holding a rifle in my hand serving my country, seeing graphic detail...

But you're a very, very talented, and realistic writer! I'm glad and happy that you and others in the war back then made it out alive...

Good writing Shiloh!

to Meridian...

this particular work was not about the army, war, Vietnam.... it was about a girl... we broke up, and it hurt, and still does, even today, more than 50 years later. How about that!?

oh my bad

Still good though.
Merry Christmas Shiloh.
