Demons

Flashbacks of the days I wish I could forget,
The harsh words spoken, cutting deep like a threat.
Trust shattered like glass, scattered on the floor,
Leaving scars so deep, we can't ignore.
Mental health issues, a heavy burden to bear 
Anger, anxiety, depression a constant nightmare.
Bipolar swings like a pendulum's sway,
From highs to lows, I struggle to stay.
Depression weighs heavy on my soul,
The darkness consuming, taking its toll.
Add them all together, its a rollercoaster ride,
Leaving me exhausted, with nowhere to hide.
With doubts and fears, anxiety grips tight,
A constant battle, day and night.
From the demons that lurk within,
Seems Im always at war, I can never win.
Can we move on together and put the past behind?
Forgive and forget, have peace of mind.
Is there light at the end of this darkened day?
Should we keep trying, or let love fade away?
As I reflect on the mistakes we've made, I ponder.
Where did it all go wrong, I wonder.
I thought I knew love, its warmth and its light
But now I question, was I wrong, not right?
