Aching Pasts And Forgotten Memories

I always try to forget my past -

or at least the parts that ended like this.

I try so hard to move on from the silence -

but I can't help but to hear those voices still yelling at me -

the same petrifying words they used then -

so many years ago.

And I hear a voice, now here, in the present,

wanting to know exactly how many times

I can replay the same things in my head,

constantly uncovering a new answer, a new truth.

And I always lost track when it came to you.

A simple nightmare, a hate-declared dream -

yet I always feared my judgments true -

I always feared I would remember you.

And the blood-thirsty cries coming from across the room -

the emptiness within my shallow womb.

And how could I tell her the anger I felt?

How could I explain the new rage which was dealt?

I simply decided to let go, move on,

but I still hear your voice, the screams are strong.
