You can't believe this happened You fell into the trap You never believed that it would happen like that You said it would be different But it's very much the same And now you'll do anything to erase all the pain It brings back memories best forgotten It makes a grown woman fall apart And become the little girl you still are at heart
It brings you back to when it used to happen all the time When you would live in fear of when you would be subjugated to the crime You remember the memories so well suppressed The ones you can't bare to get off of your chest And to think this is all because of some little game Something that you don't look at the same He didn't mean to hurt you, or at least that's what you think But just one violent touch makes you fall back and shrink
He unknowingly caused a trigger that started everything else All those memories once forgotten have found their way off of the shelf You need a way to escape before you self destruct Because the crying and the screaming just make you feel amuck
You find a savior in someone else willing to lend an ear Never really knowing exactly what they're in to hear They learn just how you're damaged And more of why you are the way you are They try to make you smile To see the future is alright to bear They help you through the pain a little at a time Until you can contain it again and put it away like you are fine
But you just wait for the next time that this will all happen again Because you know you aren't as well composed as you tell your friend You can't be after what happened--your whole world is shaken up A once good guy became a bad guy before you could say enough is enough This makes you feel like the lowest of the low Like you've fallen into someone's trap Because you always told yourself you would be better than that Now you're not so sure and you'll probably never be All you can do is hope and pray that you are smarter than you think.
Hey guys. This one is really personal to me and I'd really appreciate feedback on it. It was probably one of the hardest poems I've written but also one of the most healing I've written. I might add more to it later, but right now, I can't. Let me know what you think.
