I thought i had gotten past it,
that i had finally been allowed to forget.
i thought i was finally free of the memories.
i thought i could pretend it was just a nightmare.
the nightmare was real.
the memories are not yet forgotten.
I'm not allowed to forget.
I'm not allowed to move on.
no one will stop talking about it.
no one will let me stop thinking about it.
will i never forget?
can i ever just move on from that darkness?
the darkness haunts me, every detail of memory.
nothing is forgotten.
i remember like it was just a few hours ago.
i can taste, smell, see, hear, feel everything.
i remember everything.
i will never forget.
i will never move on.
