In the closet of my childhood
Lives a Demon whose name is memory
Throughout my life he has haunted me.
Cupid where were you?
Butterfly wings tangled in barbwire
The house completely engulfed in flames
The walls scream for help
And in the closet he just lays there watching, memory

Father I have always felt ugly, couldn’t you comfort me?
Mother, you were always there, but where were you?
He told me he loved me
An animal loves its prey
The taste of blood arousing its senses
I am infected by his sickness
And now, memory has two people to control
Me, and the one living in my womb

Memory can be the sweetest of angels or the foulest of demons.

Thanks for sharing
