hands everywhere
screams covered
the memories...
suffocate me
when I try to breathe

fear known

tears tasted

the memories...

choke me

when I try to eat

stripped naked

mind numbed

the memories...

paralyze me

when I attempt to think

forced down

trust broken

the memories...

blind me

when I try to see

pinned down

torn open

the memories...

numb me

when I want to feel

sullied chastity

defiled, corrupted

the memories...

they are there...

the tears

they flow...

the pain

so deep...

oh, the memories...

my heart

desires to feel...

my soul

wants to be free...

oh, but the memories...

my mind

needs to rest...

my being

is weary

as the memories

surround me...
