I close my eyes...

close my eyes and pray it all disappears.
Hoping that when my eyes open it will all be gone.
Awakening from a cocoon, will I emerge a different person?
Becoming a beautiful butterfly and no longer the timid caterpillar?
My biggest fear is that I have stepped back into my past,
that the evil presence somehow found me
and is claiming my future.
I notice things are somehow as they use to be,
I see that things are different but yet… the same.
Like waking from a nightmare just to realize you are still in it.
The setting and the people may be different but the dream is always the same.
How do you let go of the past when the past wont let go you?
I walk through dim halls carrying a tortured soul.
She speaks to me through unspoken words…
What are these words that come flowing out of my fingers and onto this very paper?
Are they the memories stored in my blood,
deep in my veins where they can hide and not be eliminated?
I close my eyes and pray it all disappears.
Hoping that when my eyes open it will all be gone
