Church.
I recall days of my life.
Each one created
Its own nightmare.
"Requiem aeternam ..."
And leave me alone.

The final line is brilliant. A knockout punch Mike Tyson should envy
 Thanks for the read, Ris.

Great mood with this one, and not at all what I expected by the end (which is a good thing
). My tiny, tiny suggestion is to figure out a way to insert the definition of that latin phrase into the poem, or at least imply it... just a suggestion because such a short poem doesn't really need a footnote imo.Thanks for the read
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
