Time Unhealed

I hear the name that I fear.
I see the colors that make me cringe.
Time can never make me forget.

Every room holds a ghost of my past.
Every wall holds evidence that it happened.
Time can't fade the memories.

No one can tell me it never happened.
No one can say just forget it.
Time can't heal the cuts already made.
