Childhood memories brings a face never forgotten.. 
It comes alive with all its contortions in the dream
The face with a hideous grin, staring in the darkness with a strange and satisfying gleam.. 
Thoughts conjure up images of it so vivid
That smirk, that deliberate smile so abominable.. 
The encounter was oddish and so unreal.. 
Memories being blurred, yet encompassing and intolerable.. 
The child's  mind has complex labyrinth woven for that day.. 
What truly transpired can never be told and known.. 
That face will haunt and nothing can bring normalcy and atone...
