Love, Life, and Living

Holocaust Memories

That star I wear upon my neck

Replaces that which was on my breast

The number (still) engraved upon my arm

A token, from those who did us harm

I stood there at the final hour

Watching them fall, lose all their power

All whom I'd loved, gone forever

From my heart, all feeling severed

I still today, feel the pain from that place

Where we took our last stand, for the existance of out race

I still hear the screams, from my fallen friends

Those brave enough to fight, will never see the light of day again

But I still return, to that cursed camp

In the dead of night, solely guided by lamp

To see the graves, of some held so dear

Why can I give nothing more, than a single tear?

But I have a future, and they're in the past

I'm here to make sure that their memory lasts

To show to the world, they did not die in vain

As I walk these hallowed halls, reexperiencing the pain
