POEM STARTER

The Burden of Memory

Write a poem that could have this as its title.

Spellbound: It’s Me

Remember when you bumped into me

Your warm arm brushed my elbow

Stumbling you caught me

First time in your arms

First of many

In your spotlight

Me

Special warm safe

Happy in your world

Your friends, your family, your things

Remembering my lines

Rehearsing what’ll say to keep you happy

Pretending we’re okay so hard I forgot the

Me

Behind the fake smile and canned laughter

You brushed against me

Quick peck on the cheek

And I remembered when you bumped into

Me
