Scars of Time

So many thoughts, thoughts that won't go away. You try to mush them out of your mind. What better way to forget? Yet they linger. A teasing memory that is forever there, waiting, waiting for you to remember. When you do remember...it's a shock. You sit and remember and you cringe. How could you have forgotten so very easily? No, you didn't forget, you hid the thought, it was still there all along. For the most part you don't remember anymore, but from time to time it hits you like a brick in the face. As harsh and cruel as a windy winter day. Why can't you block it out? You try so hard, but horrible memories such as those never go away. It's like a scar on your memory, and it's permanent, not one of those scars that fade with time.... forever haunting.
