I remember him
Perfectly.
At times it feels like I was given a little demon I can’t get rid of
An anger constantly waiting for the right moment to burst
A shame no one would have guessed lies behind the facade of my delightful smile
A burning fire inside my heart that I both hate and love.
I carry him with me
Even to this day
And I might still
On my very last.
He made me wait under the stairs
Ever so silent
Ever so still
I retreated within myself
To escape the atmosphere
So saturated with fear.
I’m ashamed to say
My spirit gave up
And I submitted it to him
Every time.
I was just a kid.
That fear stays with me
Like a stray dog you only fed once
So I carry a hatred to fight it
I won’t give up my spirit again
The two champions wage war against the other
Fighting for the throne of my heart.
I will never again be put under the stairs
I will never again relinquish my soul to be dominated
I will never again stand idle as you take my power
As you took part of me
As you took what it means to be free
What it means to own oneself.
That was once taken from me
I will never forget the dread
It was like all light left the world
All hope
And you were alone
In the dark
With a monster
At the complete dictation of his will
And he shows you no mercy.
I remember Jorge
Perfectly.
