Locked

there are doors that are closed in me
walls concrete and fortresses built
around places and people in my past
that i want to never again see

there is a pain in me that's never healed
i have wounds that are yet to be sealed
wounds i believe and hope time works on
wounds i wont let mine eyes look upon 

atimes images from time flash raw and plain
snatches of people breaking me with swords
quarrels and screams from my past worlds
but BAM! the Trojan walls come up once again

i never ever want to open these doors
never want to visit those rough shores
i refuse to cry and hurt all over again
with mine eyes closed, time heals my pain
