Unable to
Break through the
Walls
Sliding by
Passing days
Locked in
Fear
     
Been so long now
Thought I'd have
Moved on
But memories still
Linger
Haunting
Me
     
Can't leave the
Pain in the
Past
Forgetting the terror
Eludes me still
Cuts still
Unhealed
     
What will it take
Will it ever
Pass
Will I ever
Return to
Living
Again
     
Maybe it
Goes on
Forever
Locked in this prison
For the rest of
My
Days
     
Wish there could be
Some
Relief
Pardon from the
Fears that
Follow me
Around
      
Unable to love
Let anyone
Close
No hope of
Intimacy
Commitment
Love
     
Too much bad happened
Last
Time
Tried and failed
Experienced hell when
Last I visited
There
      
No way I ever want to
Face the
Fire again
So peaceful now
Days quiet
Content in the
Solitude
      
Why risk losing the
Pleasure I've found
Alone
Why open myself up
Leave myself open to
Torture
Abused
      
Become so hardened
Shut off from
Others
Safe within the walls of my
Prison
Away from
Pain
      
Once I thought I
Might
Overcome
Able to put the
Horror
Behind
Me
      
But time hasn't healed me
Only withdrawn
More
Where once I
Hoped it would pass
Now I sit quietly
Accepting alone
