I try to make it go away
I do not want to remember
I want to forget
the years that have passed
have not taken it away
the years that have passed
do not allow me to forget
the pain
the shame
the embarrassment
i want it to go away
i wish it never happened.
my heart hurts all over again
sometimes i wonder
what if it never happened
what if I died that day
would i still feel the pain i do now
would i still be haunted
was it inevitiable
could i have stopped it
why does it haunt me
why can't it go away
I try to make it go away
i do not want to remember
i want to forget
but it will always be there.
lingering
