I still get the phantom feelings of your existence in my life,
the ongoing torture that is your presence in my mind forever.
I can't go a day without being reminded that you gave me a gift,
the ability to know more than I did before
and being able to use that knowledge still.
It was once a gift,
but now it is my curse I wish to the gods I could break.
You still hold me captive
I am still at your mercy.
I hate remembering you
I wish we could collectively forget everything that happened,
move onto a better life without your name attached to mine.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Well, this is in my head now. Brilliant work!
I’m sorry the pain is still remembered! A better person will be in your life soon and you’ll forget all about this!
