I will not end up like you.
No way will I let this happen.
Not now, not ever, not in any form.
I have many reminders of the pain.
The images can blur together.
You weren't there?
Are you sure?
Trust me.
I wasn't there.
I wish I had been where you were.
I didn't taste the local food.
My lips ate dry food.
The same today as it was back then.
How funny time can change little?
Am I right?
That look in your eye.
All disapproving of what I had done.
The deep shame inside of me.
I don't wish to be there ever again.
No amount of forgetting will help.
I will always remember.
The pain that came from far away.
It has never left me.
I will never let you through the door.
It's closed forever.
You will try to break it down.
Won't you?
It's in your nature.
I will not drink your poison.
Not this time and not like this.
