I Never Met You

Shadows dance on the bedroom wall
Distorted memories, a confusing recall
Flashes of anger, a choked, strangled cry
But your face, a blur, lost behind a teary eye

The therapist says: It's okay not to know
But the weight of the trauma, it takes its toll, you know
Empty spaces in my history, a fractured timeline
Haunted by echoes, of a love that wasn't mine

I never met you, at least that's what I say
A defense mechanism, to keep the darkness at bay
They whisper your name, but it holds no sound
I never met you, on fractured memory ground

Triggers lurk everywhere, a scent, a familiar tone
Sending me spiraling, a world I can't disown
The shattered pieces, I try to mend and hold
But the cracks scream the truth, a story yet untold

The therapist says: Healing takes time, be kind
But the fear of forgetting, leaves my spirit entwined
With the phantom of a past, a love that caused such pain
I never met you, but the scars still remain

I never met you, at least that's what I say
A defense mechanism, to keep the darkness at bay
They whisper your name, but it holds no sound
I never met you, on fractured memory ground

Maybe someday, the fog will clear
And the face behind the trauma, will finally appear
But for now, I'll hold onto this phrase, a shield to protect
I never met you, the truth I'll project

I never met you, at least that's what I say
A defense mechanism, to keep the darkness at bay
They whisper your name, but it holds no sound
I never met you, on fractured memory ground

I never met you, a shield to survive
In the fractured memories, where you will never thrive
(You abused me)
(You breaked my mind)
