Sometimes I just can't help but regress
Regress so far, that it feels real
It's happening all over again
I can feel the blade,
The cold steel
The hot breath
The unwanted touch
My heart beats so hard
So very hard
I can't deal
Flashes of memories long gone
Flick past like old film
From my mind
To my eyes
To my heart
To the dark pit of my stomach
Nowhere left to go
Until I open the gates
Let it escape
Flow free from me
It hurts to say the word
The word that's ok to say sometimes
Just not in my story
And...

Echoes in my ears

Shadows in my memory

“…distracted by your beauty…”

A faint smile in my reflection

A 40 something man in a ute

Black as his intentions

Sleek as his approach

“…it’s all about the woman…”

A hand through my hair

A whisper in my ear

“…a peek under your skirt?..”

A young drama student

Played her character well

“…you’re a good girl…”

Innocent angel spreads her wings

Seems she’d forgotten how to fly

“…you’re sure I can’t tempt you?..”
...

Snow-covered forests bathed in moonlight

The stars reflection on lakes like glass

Gentle rain washing over me as I lay dying

Sing to me of these things and I will fall asleep in your arms



I fly through the night

Carried by your wings of love and loss

The stars twinkle behind us

The wind blows over my limp body



Rain falls from the blackened sky

And a gentle mist is slowly descending upon the trees

You fly low over a lake

My toes making ripples dance across the surface
...

Scars

Open wounds

Overdose



Hospital

Suicide-

Oh so close



Examinations

Faithless doctor

“Talk to me...”



Trusting

Silly girl

Who could see?



Vulnerable

Exposed

And cold



Too close

Too much

Too bold



Necessary

Procedure

Transparent lies



Metal

Then flesh

It's now inside



Restrained

In pain
