MEMORIES
Memories!They haunt meYour voice in my earMy hand through your hairYour lips pressing against mineDamn if only I could go back in timeI would freeze the moments we had, enjoy it a bit longerErase the wrongs, be stronger and endure much longer
Your sweet words that made me feel like a kingThe melodious voice echoing in my ear each time you singLike royalty you made me feelYou were all that I needYour loving was all I desiredSo powerful it ignited a fireWithin me was a spark so powerful it made the heavens rejoiceLike magic I was enticed
The way you looked me in the eyes with loveThe way you embraced me with a hugOur first kissYour sweet tender lipsAmazingly beautiful body that glowed each time I touched youThe magic surrounding the words “I love you”
Memories!They haunt meThe sad moments they conquer meThe mistakes I made, the mistakes you madeWe’re both to blameThe words that broke my heartThe words uttered from your lips that tore me apartThe pain that came along with each heart beatThe intense feeling of defeat
Abused
Used!Abused!Neglected as a childCold and alone on the insideSearching for love and affectionCaught within the spider’s web, no protection!In search of the magic they called “Love” she got used and abusedConfused!
Sick!RejectedAn angel now becomes a victim of her desire
On the inside it burns like fire
Her body feels so sore, muscles aching
Soul bleeding
She falls to the ground, broken in pieces like a plate
No more faith!
No strength to fight it off so she surrenders
Will she ever recover?
She cries her eyes out day after day
All she wanted was love and affection, instead she got used in so many waysShe cuts her hand to replace emotional pain with physical
She screams “Where are you father?” while she becomes suicidal
Can you feel it? The endless suffering
Constant crying!
Dying!
How can you deny the plea she made
All she request is that you stand, hold her hand and make the world a better place
Battered and abused, wont you show her that you care ?
Can you hear it? The pain within her voice
The struggle to overcome it, listen to her cries
Her eyes twitches while she fights for the right words to explain how she feel
Can you hear it? Her plea for love and friendship, that’s all she need
As she explains it all, the flashes erupts pain from within
She breaks down, fallen on her knees, hurting deep within
As tears consume this broken hearted girl
She looks up and says “Please let’s work together to make this world a better place”
