The knife of trauma

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
