Shattered Mind

Memories still so fresh
Age it did not matter
Needing to feed a sickness
A child's mind you shattered

Thoughts still so vivid
Me crying so many tears
Things you did to me
Still grip my heart with fear

Time did not remove
Images from my dreams
Now that I am alone
No one to soothe my screams

You smiled and laughed
I thought you were kind
Leading me to a garage
Not knowing your evil mind

When you closed the door
Your intentions then revealed
Throwing me against a wall
Taking me against my will

I lie bleeding on the floor
My eyes shut so tight
Laughing as you walked away
I Prayed with all my might

Having to face Mom and Dad
This a much worse fate
They told me not to go
Now I was really late

Never telling them of this
Hearts not wanting to break
Held it in all these years
Consuming the self hate

Due to some things that are happening in my family.
These memories were brought to the surface once again.
