Flashbacks



I’ve been getting flashbacks inside my head
Wishing I was dead
The thoughts aren’t stopping just getting worse
Having depression is a curse
Because when you want to get better, all it takes is one person to ruin it
And when you take it bit by bit
And rethink about all the things that happened to you
It makes you do
Things you’ll regret
All I see is her silhouette
I can’t sleep
Because those memories are all I can think about, I think I’m in too deep
She said she loves me
But I don’t think she can see
What she’s doing to me
Is this all I can be
Pain
Is something that I get again and again
I can’t handle it
It feels like Im getting hit
With every word coming from her mouth
My mind goes south
I don’t know what to do
Because of you
