The Memories

The memories are screaming,

They won’t let me be.

Determined I hear and see them.

They so much haunt and torment me.

Everyone’s gone now and all that used to be.

I want to tear my brain out and throw it on the floor.

I’m trying to escape all the memories,

That cut me to my last.

The good, the bad and the nightmares

All the dreams that had to die,

Everything’s clear and scary now.

The flashbacks, and I don’t have to close my eyes to see it all.

It was our story, and you know it.

But the story had to change.

I hope that I survive,

The screams driving me insane.
