The Haunting
I found her........ the little girl that I lost many years ago
She's a little shaken and rusty barely alive but she's still here
Her fragile nature is what's caught my attention the most, the horror and trauma that dances in her innocent eyes.
How is it that she's been gone for years but has rained the same, that the scars on her skin don't change her.
All I can think of was how was I going to get her home and safe.
I was too terrified to even touch her and yet I couldn't walk away either.
How can I anyway ? with those haunting me....
It took me a while but it all made sense, she's me. She is all the pain I took, all the hurt I endured.
The girl I buried and forgot hoping I'd be invincible, untouchable and free. That no one would hurt me ever again.
Turns out it was only a matter of time before I had to face her again and maybe this time I'll make my peace with her.
