Forgive and Forget
It was long ago,
 But my heart still aches,
 Withering, day by day.
 
 With every knock on the door,
 my heart races.
 With every creaking floor,
 a shiver  runs down my spine.
 With every hearing of the word family,
 my eyes flutter, replaying horror memories like a broken record.
 Over, and over, and over again.
 
 Before the hate.
 Before the hell.
 Before the Holocaust.
 
 Now, their sweet  voices ring through my head.
 Every night, in every dream. I hear them.
 Sometimes a sweet lullaby, other times their piercing screams. 
 I wake up, sweating, panting, crying.
 
 How can I forgive?
 How can I forget,
 When the people I love,
 will never come back?
