Battle Lost

Pityful images
Invading my soul
Screaming at me to pay attention.
Laughing as I ignore their cries.
Their begging.....hilariously mute.

Insistant
Compelling
Compulsive
Like my own urge to hide...

The haunting images
Insulting my contentment
Stipulating my logic..

Untrusting
Unknowing
Unfeeling
Undaunting in their plea...

Hear us, see us, remember us..
Please..stop..
the debate begins..
I remember...
I see you....
Please..stop..

Louder, bolder, stronger..
The images become crisp..
^{OK! I SEE YOU!...}
Please..stop..

Their insistence pays off,
Recognition prevails...
Memories...
images of hell...

Contentment eludes me...
Once again the images have won..
The battle, lost...

OK, you win....I see you..
