Like flashes from a movie screen,
Nightmares, these horrendous things. 
When shattered broken heart that bleeds. 
A withering soul, on begging knee, pleads. 

Through tears, for relief.
A simple reprieve. 
From these horrible memories,
Fraught with fear, terror only she sees. 

Cursed, jaded, that’s what they say,
Their way to explain, 
These tears they refuse to see. 
A past, haunting, powerful far from free. 

A nightmare long past, they say,
They see no other way.
Haunting when it had been her he beat. 
Lies, threats, became a prison, she lived. 

Flashes from a scene long played. 
When her heart and soul were betrayed.
Words I love you, empty in their stead. 
Haunting these scars that bled. 

For once I wish you could see, 
These overplayed scenes.
These open wounds, that bleed.
Just once see what I see….
