The Memory Remains

Casey
Your hand goes near my throat

Just to rub it

My mind freaks

Thinking just to choke it

Even though I know

You'd never lay a hand

I feel bad

Although I cannot help my reactions

You didn't do this to me

But my body remembers

The hand that tried to squeeze

The life out of me

Is no longer present

But his actions remain in me

Like a great rock band said

"The memory remains"

My body reacts

Without any warning to me

My chin goes up my hand grabs his

I panic

Getting a surge of adrenaline

This is crazy, he would never hurt me

But those who did my body will always remember

Memories my mind will not allow me to recall

But memories my body will never forget

    Moving. So true too. Applies to anyone and any animal. Traumatic events create scars ever so deep and often cannot be removed...ever.
