I still remember

Long away from home.

The lights blinded my sight.

I’d wait for hope.

I had no luck waking up any time soon.

My mind’s racing a marathon like the blood in my veins.

Heart that’s always broken then turned emotionally frozen.

I felt deranged, affliction had changed everything.

My body turned into an earthquake and I still remember.

When I thought I was dead in my sleep.

An everlasting nightmare I couldn’t escape.

I believed it was coming to life to taunt me.

Years drove by.

Time lifted and memories died.

I closed my eyes to another dream and another cry.

I know it won’t stay long but I can’t pretend.

All that I picture never leaves my head.

It feels so real, it’s hard to describe.

If you understood, you’d still be here.

And I still remember.

When I thought I was dead in my sleep.

An everlasting nightmare I couldn’t escape.

I believed it was coming to life to taunt me.

As time went on.

I knew that it would continuously tear me apart and take people away.

And when they’re gone I’d wake up with a knife in my heart and no one looking down on my grave.

And I still remember.

When I thought I was dead in my sleep.

An everlasting nightmare I couldn’t escape.

I believed it was coming to life to taunt me.

Nothing could stop it.
