Even If

Even if, one day, freedom arrives.
Even if, one day, she feels brave enough to walk away,

I wonder...
will she ever be rid of the fear.
will her heart ever mend.

Or...
are there too many memories.
are there too many scars.
are wounds too deep.

When the worst is over,

Will...
it all make sense.
the pain go away.
the memories remain.
she find what she needs.

Where to begin.
How to begin.

Can she really begin again.
