To hear the music
To hear the sound
Is all it requires.

That voice, plays in your head.
No, not the singer's, his.
And you slip.

Memory after memory attack you
With barbed edges, slicing
Attacking your mind.

Tears stream, hands move
To find the blade
To make a cut.

A simple note
A well known voice
Can reduce you to this

What can I say?
it's a
     trigger...
This is the first of my trigger poems. I have four main triggers, and I am hoping to be able to write a poetic piece on each side, as this is what is my major weakness.

I have already in essence written one, 'Failure' [link]

If you could comment, that would be amazing!

This is also true for me... I have two or three different songs that a person showed me when I got to know them a bit better. They put stories behind each song to kind of explain how they feel and to explain how she became who she was... And one song in particular that she showed me, I fell in love with (Red Sam by Flyleaf). However it had a certain story behind it that was really sad... Basically someone blamed her for something and so she started blaming everything on herself from then on. Anyways, after that, I did something I'm not too proud of and she left my life. But she did it in such a way that it hurt a lot more than if she had just told me to leave and never come back. And so now I blame myself for losing her, losing that friendship, and causing her pain. I made a stupid mistake and I still can't get over it. So now every time I hear that song, it triggers me really really badly. Anyways, I'm sure you're tired of my rambling on about this. I just wanted to share my story and get that off my chest.
I guess, you could call this a secret revealed~~
