The Pain of Knowing

The pain of knowing
It won't go away

The smell of the closet
That never fades

Locked into my brain

Slowly forgetting
Then one day it rains
Memories
Harder
Than ever

The door closing in
To shut out the light
To foster pain

Silent tears to
Silent rain

Everything shut
Shut into my brain

It never left

The smell
The dark

It drove me insane
