The truth of your lies
The way that you violated me
So deep inside
My mind a blank slate
Panicked with fear
My body says I remember
I know you are near
I know what you did
And I know what you said
No matter how much
My mind is misled
My body remembers,
Your touch and the fear
It quakes with shame and pain
When you are near
You took something from me
Just took it away
And I was never the same again
So I relive it today
Something I felt,
Unseen and unheard,
My mind doesn’t know it
And it seems so absurd
But I know it inside me
My body doesn’t lie
If only I could trust it
It helped me survive
I feel broken in places
I didn’t know exist
That live only
In shadows and mist
Thanks to you and
The twisted games that you play
I’ll look behind every bush, every tree
Till I find all you’ve hidden
Playing hide n seek with me
I can’t know in my mind
All you’ve made me forget
But I know in my body
From the time that we met
It curdles and twists deep inside,
In my guts and my limbs
You thought you had left me
With nowhere to hide
You left me
Defiled, without a trace
But there’s echoes in me
That you couldn’t erase
From an old storm
I’ve been wearing so long
Like a favourite jacket that’s warm
It’s a familiar sort of stain,
I’m far too accustomed
To living in shame
And living in fear
To never being able
To shed a single tear
