Ink Blotter

Anniversary

We wrap ourselves in bubbles
The numbness keeping us safe
From the pain we hide from
 
Silence filling gaping holes
In our hearts as we try to forget
 
But today marks another year
This thought echos in our heads
As the memories come flooding back
Ripping our wounds wide open
 
All the years dissolving
As if no time has passed
Dissolving the strength
We fooled ourselves
into believing we were achieving
 
As the numbness dissolves
And agony finds us once again
The scabs falling off
Leaving our open wounds
On display
As were tormented by doubts
Our denial holding us down
As shame paralyzes us with pain
Forcing us to remember
The truth we’ve tried so hard to forget
 
Reliving the nightmare
That haunts our dreams
Stealing our nights
Gasping for breath
The memories never fading
The details play on loop
As I stalk you in my mind
The clock reverting back to 2006
A day burned into my head
Those last few moments
Repeating over and over again
Needing to understand
Wanting to find a way
To escape the past
As all my regrets come flooding back
Reminding me
Not even love is enough
To bring us back from the dead
Or repair the damage in our hearts
The day we lost you
 
No for us there is no escape
No easy exit out
Not like there was for him
That day he pulled the trigger
