The ghost of you keeps drawing me like a severed limb Stumbling when stepping down on what I could depend Severed ties like ragged nerves Raw electric agony Each day I find a new one, and this seems to never end
I remember a bully that was a frenemy When we wasn’t fighting he would talk to me The things he said had sense of normalcy Now I know he was molested Just like me
I remember… The veins of my roots coming through the dirt I remember… The stitches in my soul to repair the hurt I remember…
I remember the man who has beaten me Only blood we had was from calamity But he was part of the stepfamily Pain wasn’t all he was teaching me
I remember… The veins of my roots coming through the dirt I remember… The stitches in my soul to repair the hurt I remember…
She had eyes the size of the world it seems with a heart that was broken like her dreams caught up in a torrent when she swims the streams pale blue eyes whose tears can’t redeem
I remember The veins of my roots coming through the soil I remember The rage in the blood that would make it boil I remember The agony I had to share so they’d recoil I remember
Runaway, now the details do not matter Be the same on another plain in another time The path of destruction has tributaries and the agony of survival is sublime
I remember… The veins of my roots coming through the dirt I remember… The stitches in my soul to repair the hurt I remember…
