Back

A Poem by Claire

I go back
Back to the days
The bad days
Back to the tears and jeers
Back to the slaps and punches
Back to the kicks and hits
Back to the names and your hateful games
Back to the moments I hated you
And the days I was afraid of you
Back to the insults
Back through the years
The ones where I stood tall in a broken house
The ones where I stayed strong in a fucked up life
Back through the months and days
Back to hiding away
Back when I didn't let it show
Back when I couldn't let it show
When I wouldn't let it show
Back when I should have let it show
Just how much you were hurting me
Back through the hours
Through the minutes
Back through time
