You left ,
You left long ago .
But still,
The ghost of abuse will
Forever haunt us,
The ghost of my incapability to save
Her will forever haunt me.
A message,
A photo,
A call,
A memory,
Is all it takes to be back where
We started,
It's like we never parted ,
Your abuse never departed.
My all these years of trying go in vain ,
Because she'd stumble upon a memory,
Again, inflicting pain .
I'd watch and could not save her ,
The emotional torture,
I'm getting fucking tired,
She'll keep meeting the same cruel fate.
At least I've gotta try ,
To stop it all ,
See myself fail , watch myself fall ,
And repeat it all over again.

A strong write of long term impact abuse has on people and how hard it is to forget, the littlest trigger brings it all back and the cycle starts again, nicely expressed write
