A quick exit That's what they promised me But I never took that road. One exit turned in to another The numbers rolled up to hundreds. So I took none. Let it be a testimonial To how much I love you And how much you mean to me.
Someone once said That trauma memory is like a high way For the trucks that pick up and deliver memories To the consciousness. And trauma memory is right behind That road blockage from the town of horrors. And an alternative route has not been provided So the answer to your question is I don't remember Nobody is going in or out.
But today I do remember. I know it all. If not in words or just a knowing, Then in images or a sensation. The blockage to my mathematical thinking Was blown to pieces only reveal That not only can I do math But that I've always been talented. My grades never showed it But my reasoning always has.
Let it be known that to me You are the Pytagoras Theorem And that one angle I loved dearly But never calculated Until you gave me the motivation to. It was in that one stroke Of the softest hand on my cheek That inspired forgiveness That inspired trust. And knowing how badly we were targeted.
Now I know how much I put you through But let it be a testimonial Of how much pain, our love could inspire And how much pain our love could endure. Let it be known that I'm free Of the projection of your image on to others. Let it be known, that I'll always be that girl with a pencil behind her left ear... Because I was left handed... most of the time.
