In My Head

Do you hear that?
The silence is deafening. It wears me down - isolates me from those I love.
Do you see that?
It's the shadow of the person I was - the one before him. The one who violated my trust.
Do you smell that?
It's a mixture of mixture - him, his skin, mixed with my fear. No wait, it's blood - my blood and tears.
Do you feel that?
It's a chill. It rattles me to my core. Breath on my skin, fists breaking me down and leaving the person I was broken.
Do you taste that?
The mixture of blood and tears - a taste I'll never forget. Alcohol - beer - I hate beer. The combination of it all still makes me gag.
That silence now pierced by the screams in my head. The voice, the sounds, the muffled TV in the background, all blending in. I retreat to a place so deep within I'm not sure I'll ever reemerge. Do you see me?
