• i sit awake,
    these thought swirling,
    i cant rid myself of them,
    its more than i can take,
    images are whirling,
    in my head,
    memories of a past,
    i just want to forget,
    all of the pain,
    there is no life raft,
    nothing to grab onto is left,
    these memories a permanent stain,
    on my ever whirling mind,
    make them go away,
    they wont let me sleep,
    they are not forgiving and so unkind,
    they haunt me every single day,
    sunk in too deep,
    so much pain and suffering,
    i cant bear to see anymore,
    just make it stop,
    make it go away,
    dont let me remember,
    let me sleep,
    let me sleep,
    let me sleep,
    i am done with the memories,
    but they wont leave me alone,
    they wont leave me alone
