Ptsd
The memories come rushing back
Crashing in like forceful waves
Without a choice
Spanning life one piece at a time
There is no escape
They flood like the greatest of floods
Through the mind with no way to forget
Lack of closure keeps them alive
Things from long ago, feel like this second
There is no time between
Events are re-lived by a simple trigger
As pain unfreezes, melting into visions
The heart races, tears flow, the body trembles
There is no other way but to keep moving
For today to be what is should be
But the pain lives on
