Scarred Memories
I remember pain
but its echoes
have long since faded
into a flesh colored blur
a memory I can touch
and feel
but only
from the outside

"I remember that there was pain
but it's echoes"
You could strike "that there was" without losing anything and "it's" should be "its".

Some things are buried so deeply they may never resurface. Only make their presence known in tiny movements of triggered memory.

Better to be on the outside & moving away I think. These words suggest the pain is still there but in a different form now.

Hi Kexby, I tried it without the but and yeah, my brain needs the but. Glad you enjoyed the piece.
