The Heart Remembers

After the abuse ends

The scars faded

But my heart remembers

The words were forgotten

But my heart remembers

The image of you is gone

But my heart remembers

The bruises are gone

But my heart remembers

I am not the names you called

But my heart remembers

The fear left

But my heart remembers

Now, you are gone

And my heart remembers

A Dark Red Night
