Triggered Effect

i am bonded in memories of my yesterdays not through desire i still choke on that air as it falls steel force like a bullet in wind the smell of stale beer and cigarettes as you rolled barrels back and flicked more than bics i remember your mind fully loaded half-cocked as you raged within i felt trapped like the moon on a stormy night thunder rang out then silence fell through the smoky trail as it blazed by i lifted the veil and mourned the part of me that died i still live bonded in memories of my yesterdays though not by desire

Mind scars are the most difficult because they are not so easily seen. Also we work so hard to hide them. By keeping them guarded we don't allow them to heal.

Hello Sandra, I don't know what to say. There was so much emotion in this. I don't know where to start. But, that I like how it began with unfed memories without the touch of desire.. the end was much heavier than i expected .... xxoxx...Linda
