Scared of the Past
I am terrified of the past.
My mind has tried so hard to hide the things that went on.
I have no memory of it but I know it happened.
I can feel it deep inside of me
My mind has the memories locked inside a vault that I can't even reach.
I don't want to reach it.
I'm terrified of what is going to pop out of the vault.
The past was a dark place.
My body remembers the things that were done to me even though my mind doesn't.
I find myself pushing away the ones I love because there is something deep down inside of me that is missing. And I know that whatever it is i'm never going to get it back.
And I don't want it back because that means i'm welcoming back all the treacherous feelings that made my heart so cold
