#shadowofmemory

There was a version of myself That existed  when you didn't 

I search for her  in vain

my mind  has walled her off, Deemed her a foreign entity

and instead,  the version  That knew you has engulfed  my being 

I sense you  In everything:

The cool breeze  That mocks me  With memories of your warm embrace

The cruel trick Of memory Fills the still air  With your scent

Every object  you have touched Every word  you have spoken

All tainted  by your essence

But you are gone.

You have been  laid to rest I watched as  Your body was lowered Into the depths  Of the earth  Then sowed flowers Surrounding Your hedge, Guarding your rest

Yet you are anything  but resting in peace As your shadow  Looms over my mind

Is it because I Constantly visit your grave?

By my own fault  You have been tethered  To this realm of thought

Have my tears  Supplied you with life And allowed you To take supernatural form?

they must be new

There are memories Maria wishes she could forget. But they're burned into her brain. Every moment someone told her she was worthless, every casual slap or enraged fist. Every moment when the heat had been turned off and she sat shivering in their apartment in Chicago, wishing one day she could just be someplace warm...

If she thought she could get away with it she'd carve out her childhood and leave it behind, walk away from the memories and begin again.

But then she wouldn't be herself any longer, and it had taken her this long to come to some decision regarding if her father had been right or not. She'd overcome too much to leave it behind.

what if he has fat hairy stompy feet tho

{I heard they did want a movie for it eventually. I also do believe that it may be redone. Not anytime soon, but I can see it happen}

shadowofmemory replied to your post: I feel like Game of Thrones is the type of thing...

send me “&” for my muses reaction to yours tracing one of their scars.
