Sadness too intense and deep <br />Can shatter the mind and eliminate <br />Vital memories: <br /> <br />Memories of fist kisses, <br />Romantic rendezvous’ in the moonlight <br />When love was new, <br />Wedding bells, children’s birthdays, <br />And important anniversaries, <br /> <br />Memories of who you really are <br />When you’re stripped of superficial facades <br />Of position and prominence <br />And have to discover anew <br />Something redeeming in your personality <br />To pull you through. <br /> <br />Sadness from an overwhelming <br />Sense of unexpected loss <br />Caused by death or divorce <br />Can remove not only memories <br />But even concepts of right and wrong and truth.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sadness-too-intense/
