Within by Amy Shannon

In the blink of an eye, I was betrayed.

the love i felt fading away

disappeared in an instant.

What used to be affection

was substituted for destruction

though it was a while ago.

though it was a life time ago

it sits inside me

though i am alive

and you are no more

the pain of the memories

in the mind

and on the body

still with with me.

Nightmares aren't just bad dreams

strength being pulled from within

being held together by blood and tears

here I am

the pain generates the anger

the anger still sits within me

though i can hide it,

it's there until the next wince

no longer blinded

exposed to myself

the innerself

tears falling, in the blink of an eye.
