Sitting in that room
I would not allow my mind
To remember the truth
People could see the guilt in my face
I looked out the window
I saw the far off hills
That seemed out of place
On the vast prairie
The hills were like me
Did not belong in their surroundings
They told stories, like a person's face
I sat on the bed, where everything ended
I touched the blanket that covered the bed
Images of pain and guilt filled the room
Tears flooding to my eyes
My body shaking with fear
The images were so vivid
His face, his cold hands
I left the room
The memories stay with me
Every day they are there,
Like the hills.
