I have an issue deep within
Where do I begin?
The current flows deep in my chest
Constant fear that makes me stressed
A trigger by a silly song
Takes me to the past
The feelings are strong and prolonged
I stare ahead in a dream
Lowering my self esteem
The episode can happen in a blink
Causing a strong urge for a drink
My breathing gets heavy as I start to see
The replay of my past in a vibrant scene
My hands become shaky as I live it through
Once the memory faded I slowly withdrew
My mind tells me it happened long ago
But my body can still feel the horrible blow
I instruct myself to breathe in and out
Two times again
When the moment fades I'm in control
Making my heart feel whole
I go to bed and visit again
The reoccurring nightmare of what had been
