it's like I have a symptom of PTSD
because sometimes when your hands touch me
The anxiety washes over me like an ocean
even if your hands just make a swift motion
it makes me want to crumble with fear
it's like I don't want you near
but I remember that its not your hands that have committed the deed
in fact, you are the reason that I was freed
but sometimes the memories come rolling back
and it's like my whole world fades to black
everything I have tried to get rid of
just comes flooding back when I remember his toxic "love"
I know yours is kind and pure
but I wonder if you blame me for associating you with him, something so impure
I know I try to hide behind walls sometimes
please save me when I am so blind
when I can not see your true love for me
please remind me that I am now free
no longer shall I worry or fear
because you will always wipe up my tears
it's not you who has caused them to fall
no, you would never treat me like he did at all.
