Past Awakening

The wound reopens
And the past reawakens
Has it ever been healed
Or merely forgotten
Until the day 
When memories resurface?

The wound reopens 
And the past reawakens
Close my eyes
And shut out the images
That constantly haunt me
Behind closed eyelids

The wound reopens 
And the past reawakens
I've never asked for much
Except for release from the chains
Free me from the past
And let me live in the present
I want a chance
To look forward to the future

The wound reopens
And the past reawakens
See the red
The blood that's been shed
That taints not only the hands
But the heart and soul

The wound reopens
And the past reawakens
Can I forget
The horrors that I've seen?
The Death that walks
Stalks my dreams once more

The wound reopens
And the past reawakens
Someone please wake me up
From the nightmare 
That lives and breathes
Someone please stop the dreams
Stop the blood from flowing

The wound reopens 
And the past reawakens
Where is the light
That would burn away the darkness?
Where is the hope
That would take away the despair?

The wound reopens
And the past reawakens
Has it ever been healed
Or merely forgotten
Until the day 
When memories resurface?

Author's notes: This was meant to be a fic, but obviously, with my 
block, I can't really do much. Most of my stories, fanfiction or 
otherwise, have been shelfed, which obviously means that I won't be 
doing much writing. Added on to the little problem of exams that's round 
the corner...and the biggest tragedy that has struck yet is that Lit. & 
Maths D paper 1 falls on the same day as my birthday. What a wonderful 
world...now all we're short of is a nice little apocalypse that should 
wipe out a couple of strategic places in particular...
