ECHOES

The echoes from past times

Of mental and physical crimes,

Haunt the chains I have made

Since my childhood was betrayed,

Echoes interrupt my being,

Constantly in my head,

Like a film I’m seeing,

Played and replayed,

Always bubbling away

Waiting to invade.

Echoes beat in my heart,

Drowning the love, you give me,

Unless I rewrite my history,

The echoes of the past

Will destroy us

Shatter us like Glass!
