Bandaids.

by @sarahrh

What can only be described as the sound of velcro being ripped away from felt, was similar to the way I ached when you walked away. Quick  almost painless but a slow burn as the feeling settled. Then, nothingness. But as I try to peel the bandaid away like my protective shield being dropped. The wound you left isn't as visible. If I press hard enough, my faded memories come back. pain that I know all too well. Then I realize no matter how hard I try to heal, the sensation will always be prominent. The scar may be gone but your dark memory lingers.
