Haunting Dreams

Sometimes I wake up gasping for air

Pretending it doesn't hurt me

But the memory continues to linger

Forever it haunts me

"It's no big deal" they say

"You're being too sensitive"

To me, it marks another day of pain

A wound to the heart

Years later, leaving that wretched scar

Sleepless nights and a pounding beat

I hope one day I can just go to sleep
