Once and a while
For no general reason
Memories float through my mind
They all bring tears
None of joy but all tears of pain and regret
Because I have lost the chance to relive many of them
I think of the times when me and my old friends
Stayed up all night laughing and saying how we will be friends forever
But forever ended once they realized my morbid thoughts
Then I think of how I used to me happy
And tear up knowing that wont be again
Because I am to old to not understand the pain in the world like I used to
And out of nowhere memories of me in the one I love arms
But now that he left me I can no longer feel the warmth of him body
Why do memories that hurt so much come back to haunt us?
Because after I remember all these memories
I end up shaking in tears lying in my bed

Oh yes, the bad memories suck and can make many of us tearful. I liked this though...very emotional. I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for entering my contest...good luck.
