The knife of trauma

The knife of trauma

A Poem by LVW

I thought I laid you to bed long ago.
where were you hiding all this time?
did you climb in through the window
as you slip through my hands like slime 

why did you come here today
what could you possibly have to say
you have brought with you nothing but pain
as your words echo in my brain

I thought I won the battle 
the last time our swords crossed
but here you are back to strangle
as all sympathy for me is lost

why is peace so hard to find
you keep coming back to torture my mind
you don't relent until I cry in pain
you and me forever intertwined
