Graveyard Memories
A Journey from Fear to Protection

By TheAlivePoetess
No lights Just darkness Quietness My body panics when the lights go out The darkness makes me invisible to the world
Eyes watching me like a black cat My demon inside becomes visible While the other part of my body shuts down But the stares haunt me My mind has become a graveyard memory
I used to be scared by the cuts Every time a black cat walks past me But the black cat The demon inside Grabbed my hand
She showed me The truth inside the mirror The truth she was just protecting me She has taught me I can survive Those black cats Those eyes glowing are still there
And she's there if I need her But for now I told her she can rest She took her horns off And told me they will grow again If you need me
