The memories flood from my eyes each time I sit alone in this dark corner
I’ve heard all the empty promises and seen all of your mistakes
I hide in the darkness of my shadow to escape the light of your gaze
I am afraid to come out from my place, my corner, my safe world where you can’t hurt me anymore
I scream out questions to whoever will answer me
But there are no answers from above
You have danced on my spirit and made a mockery of my soul
And you rejoice in your life as if each day is your own personal holiday
How do you sleep?
I sleep in minutes because the dreams don’t let me have anymore than that
They don’t want me to because even in my sleep there is terror and fear
I sit in this room and watch the world through a pane of dirty glass
And my life has become nothing but the changes in light to dark and back again
Do you think I have forgotten your filthy touch with age?
I will struggle to hold on to my sanity for the rest of my days
But no one can save me from my mind and it’s visions
Memories as clear as the breeze remain locked in this vault free to wander whenever they choose
To torment me, to remind me that you are still here
Still alive
Still breathing freely
As if life is good and normal and I have no reason to fear you or anyone that wants to enter my life
You have destroyed a being of life that could have given more to this world than a face in a second story window
I’ve tried to pick up the pieces but the fragile memory shatters each time it is moved
And stuck in me it will be for eternity
Until I see you disappear forever and I know that you are gone
And from within my shadow I can escape from myself
But will it be too late by then?
