But the memory remains.
Karthik Parthasarathy
The mind remembers,Â
Abuse may stop,Â
But the pain doesn’t.Â
If only the tears that flow,Â
Carries away the memory,Â
Wishful thinking, I know,Â
But hey, what’s lifeÂ
- 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!Â
- Rinku Shah
Every tear that flows,
Echoes with the blows
Of the toxic past,
Thankfully it didn’t last.
Domestic violence needs to end,
Takes a lifetime to mend
- Marilyn Helen Deveau
My eyes can never unsee,Â
All the ugliness of youÂ
Physical scars heal
Emotional ones liveÂ
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 haven’tÂ
Seen youÂ
In over 40 years.Â
- Crystal Bowley
Emotion allows me to feelÂ
Hurting, I maintain hopeÂ
All the while, behind my tearsÂ
- Sherry Greene
Memories of past abusesÂ
Linger in the back of my mind
But I made myself strongerÂ
In spite of it all
I’m more resilient and kindÂ
- Monika Ajay Kaul
Some tears are the remnantsÂ
- Rajeev K Singh
The only thing
which creates pain is
memory.
- Sarah Hays
The memories of yesterday
still haunt me.
- Drey Hendriks
Real eyes, realize,Â
real lies.
- Noor Fatima
You are more than enoughÂ
No, you’re not meant to endureÂ
Gather your broken part,Â
Why the eyes, deep and broon,Â
Com’on dear, just ruin the monsterÂ
- Debra Pry
The soul never forgets,
The pain of abuse.
This scar always remains
But stays tucked away,
Hidden Within,Â
The Mind’s Eye.
