Echoes of the Past
The past is a gapping hole.
 I had tried to run
 But the more I ran the more it haunted me.
 I had to get away.
 
 It was like the point of no return.
 The deeper I ran the more terrible it grew behind me, the edges yawning at my heels.
 
 The past is a puzzle, like a broken mirror.
 As you piece it together, you cut yourself.
 
 The image keeps shifting.
 It was like a fatal choice already made.
 The depths of my mind were an echo of the past.
 I tried to edit it out.
 But it just kept on growing.
 
 The darkness inside was like a nightmare, every choice I made went wrong.
 When I would wake up the world was a blur.
 I didn't understand.
 
 I didn't know how to get rid of the past.
 I tried to burn the past
 But the fire couldn't burn the past it only made the shadows behind leap higher.
 
 I should have known what it was trying to do.
 It was trying to corner me in, like you do to a rat that you want to kill.
 It was trying to kill me, with my mind.
