No One Remembers
No one remembers the pain,
No one remembers the tears.
But I remember the screaming,
I remember the fights.
No one remembers you running,
No one remembers the locked door.
But I remember banging,
I remember begging to be let in.
No one remembers that morning,
No one remembers that unsettled feeling.
But I remember waking to the shouts,
I remember the look on your face.
No one remembers the truth,
No one remembers what’s been told.
But I remember all the words spoken.
No one remembers the pain,
No one remembers the tears.
But I remember the screaming,
I remember the fights.
No one remembers you running,
No one remembers the locked door.
But I remember banging,
I remember begging to be let in.
No one remembers that morning,
No one remembers that unsettled feeling.
But I remember waking to the shouts,
I remember the look on your face.
No one remembers the truth,
No one remembers what’s been told.
But I remember all the words spoken.
