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.
