Without warning
the past envelopes my senses
distorted and reconfigured
all still deeply ingrained
when I least expect it to be
These moments make me
realize I'd failed to be human
failed to heal
and I'm terrified
this'll never leave
I can never forget your silhouette
that night and what you'd started
these scars I bare share more
than just stories of you
But as long as I'm breathing
this war within myself
will continue to be fought
