I lay awake knowing that to close my eyes for a moment would be like inviting you back in
Costant echoes replay the nightmare over and over only to bring me to realize its not a nightmare at all
But a living memory, festering in my seemingly empty mind.
Stop. Rewind. Pause. Replay. Stop. Rewind. Pause. Stop. Replay.
i awake to find dried tear stains running down my cheek.
Disappointed to realize that I had fallen asleep.
Again. Back down the same withered path that I have traveled one too many times.
