They keep returning
I'm forever haunted
The memories come flooding back
I've never felt so alone
I remember his smell
The sound of his voice
I remember his touch
And the taste of his kiss
I remember the way I felt
Battered and bruised
Felt dirty from the inside out
Nothing will take this away
I remember the first time we met
The love that I thought we shared
I remember the day it changed
The look in his eye
The fear that I felt
I shook I cried I begged
One sharp blow to the head
Knocked me to the floor
Next thing he was sitting next to me
Holding me close
Telling me he was sorry
And that he didn't mean to do it
It would never happen again
I fell instantly back in love
But things only worsened
The pain I was made to endure
From the one person I thought loved me
Was more than I could take
It took a year to get out
To free myself of him
But what I didn't realise
Was that he would always be in control
Nothing can cure me of this pain
I'll have this with me forever
Until the day that I die
But the memories will follow me
Into the pits of my own hell
I am forever burdened
My heart is ripped to shreds
How will I ever trust again
I'm ruined forever
Who could ever love me
