The touch of an unwanted past
Lurking in your shadows
Reminding you of fear
Images of what they done
Waiting to pounce
To rob you of your smile
They follow you around
Everywhere you go
They are waiting for you
They wait for that trigger
To set you off
To remind you their near
You can feel their touch
As you glimpse memories
And allow your past to creep up
You can hear their whispers
Telling you they are back
Telling you they want more
You try to remind yourself
This is only a memory
That you are safe now
You try to escape the flashbacks
They have grown too comfy in your mind
Leaving you tense and uptight
It is so hard
You want them to pass
But they keep lingering on
You finally build up courage
To tell them you are stronger
That there is no room for them in here
