But the memory remains.

But the memory remains.Karthik Parthasarathy

 

The eye captures,ย 
The mind remembers,ย 
Abuse may stop,ย 
But the pain doesnโ€™t.ย 
If only the tears that flow,ย 
Carries away the memory,ย 
Wishful thinking, I know,ย 
But hey, whatโ€™s lifeย 
without a little hope.ย 
ย 
But the memory remains.
Rinku Shah

Memories stay
They too will fray.
Let the tears wash them away,
And Love find its own way.
Trust a new beginning,
With lots of forgiveness and healing!ย 

 

But the memory remains.
Rinku Shah

 

Every tear that flows,
Echoes with the blows
Of the toxic past,
Thankfully it didnโ€™t last.
Domestic violence needs to end,
Takes a lifetime to mend

 

But the memory remains.
Marilyn Helen Deveau

 

My eyes can never unsee,ย 
All the ugliness of youย 
Physical scars heal
Emotional ones liveย 
On and on
All that ugliness that you
Lashed out at me
The lies you told me
The lies which I told
To all the people who
Loved me
And to myself
What gave you the right
To mess up my mind
And body
All this time
Even tho I havenโ€™tย 
Seen youย 
In over 40 years.ย 

 

But the memory remains.
Crystal Bowley

 

Behind my tears I hideย 
the pain and abuse inside.
Emotion allows me to feelย 
a pain that wonโ€™t subside.
Hurting, I maintain hopeย 
that you will unleash your selfish pride.
All the while, behind my tearsย 
I hide the pain and abuse inside.ย 
ย 
But the memory remains.
Sherry Greene

 

Memories of past abusesย 
Linger in the back of my mind
But I made myself strongerย 
In spite of it all
Iโ€™m more resilient and kindย 

 

But the memory remains.
Monika Ajay Kaul

 

Andโ€ฆ
Some tears are the remnantsย 
of the memoriesย 
never spoken of.
ย 
But the memory remains.
Rajeev K Singh

 

The only thing
which creates pain is
memory.

 

But the memory remains.
Sarah Hays

 

The memories of yesterday
still haunt me.

 

But the memory remains.
Drey Hendriks

 

Real eyes, realize,ย 
real lies.

But the memory remains.
Noor Fatima

 

Let the lingered voiceย 
within you be raised,ย 
You are more than enoughย 
to burn the brute with your gaze

No, youโ€™re not meant to endureย 

the oppression and assault,ย 
Gather your broken part,ย 
itโ€™s time for you to give it a halt

Why the eyes, deep and broon,ย 

flooded with tears?ย 
Comโ€™on dear, just ruin the monsterย 
as victory lies beyond fear!ย 
ย 
ย 
But the memory remains.
Debra Pry

The soul never forgets,
The pain of abuse.
This scar always remains
But stays tucked away,
Hidden Within,ย 
The Mindโ€™s Eye.
