A Realisation

It continues to haunt me.

In my dreams

In my few alone moments

In the simplest recollections of the past

It's there.

Will it never leave me?

Am I forever scarred?

All I can do is pray not.

It should not still be with me

It should be dead and gone

And yet

And yet -

There it is

In everything I say and do

It weighs upon me

It invades my life

How have I not killed it?

How does it continue to thrive?

Easy.

I let it.

I keep it dangling by one small thread of life

And it continues to torment me

And haunt me.

I refuse to let it die.

Some small part of me never wants to forget

But some small part of me never wants to remember.

It's too painful

It's too much

It's there.

Even if some day I do kill it

And allow it to stay dead

It will linger

Because it has affected me

In ways I cannot yet fathom.

Like a scar that refuses to go away -

Like a wound kept open -

It will stay.

The injury may stop throbbing

But the pain will never fade away.

Oh good.

But can you guess the subject matter...

hmm... well, i WAS assuming it was the depression you were talking about, but apparently not... or at least not specific enough, maybe? hmmm. the panic attacks?

Remus said...

Depression? Possibly. Panic attacks? Could be - but that wasn't what spawned this. Keep going, kid...

shit.. i'll guess this once, and only once, and then it's gonna die.

...jealousy?

*prays that's not it*

...moving on to happier guesses...

past crushes that aren't so 'passed' after all?

Remus said...

No, past crushes aren't.

Still not it.
