Analysis of Dark Memory



In my mind I can see all these images of you a grown man and me just a child, I was so confused and scared, you just smiled.
Behind your smile there was evil intentions, our minds were in two different dimensions.
My mind was full of innocence and simplicity, but your mind was full of filth and perversity.
Your hands touching me sent waves of fear right down to my core, all I wanted was to run out the door.
I wanted so badly to tell someone but feared that no one would believe me, I prayed and prayed that someday this dark memory would leave me.
