Petrify.

When you were inflicted by the similar incident,

My head went whirring rekindling the past.

An unpleasant memory comes hitting me hard.
It hadn't been long when it occurred.
I went on thinking uncontrollably.
Mind thinking, thoughts racing.
I refused to dwell on it but my head had other opinions.
Slowly, painfully it seeps into my mind.
As night came, nightmares creep into my dreams.
Hard as I try to not think about it, I couldn't.
I just had to.
You reminded me of it.
Nightmares terrify me in my sleep.
I want them to stop.
But I can't.
Till I learn to let go of the past.
And head on to the future.
Just as the nightmares began to fade away.
The same incident strikes you.
And I saw how it affected you.
Then, I knew the nightmare would be back again.
More horrifying and terrifying.

It's not really a post.
This suddenly came to me when I heard what happened to her.
It just brought back these horrible truths.
I'll blog a long post next time. Soon. I hope.
Oh, my phone's working again.
Got to go.
Toodles.
