Dissociation
This feeling of disconnection-
Is a part of the aftermath that I cannot explain.
It is as if I am being haunted by a part of me that is still innocent.
It is as if I am being chased by guilt that belongs to someone else.
Promises that I never said out loud.
That I eventually forgot in the haze.
I wonder how many times one person can be revived.
Before there is nothing left of them to undo.
