TW: Contains sensitive topics, be safe. Memories (--/--/20) Heart starts racing. Chest is aching. Hands are shaking. Mind is breaking. They tied me up with chains and gags. They dressed me up in scraps and rags. Close my eyes, hide my tears. Run from mind, cover ears. They beat me down, then forced me up. Bearing a bloody crown, soldier with a secret love. Run away from my mind. The strength they gave, it was not kind. They sent me out, dressed for war. Empty soul, my mind no more. Now a monster, drenched in red. Now that lover lies there dead. Salty tears, bloody hands. It’s been years, can’t understand. These memories play, set on repeat. He never leaves, don’t wanna breathe. Don’t wanna live, don’t wanna die. Nothing to give, I guess I’ll lie…
