In My Mind's Eye

Memories invade my dream,
turning them black as coal.
The horrors of the past are born anew,
I silently scream as it tears at my soul.

In my mind's eye,
I see it all happening once more.
In my mind's eye,
there is no exit door.

My brain takes over,
twisting the story like crazy.
Events that never happened,
seem like they occurred so clearly.

In my mind's eye,
I watch it all with shock.
In my mind's eye,
I want these memories to be blocked.

I toss and I turn all night,
of that I am sure.
I wake up shaking,
is there no cure?

In my mind's eye,
I feel the pain so real.
In my mind's eye,
I review the whole ordeal.

Sometimes it occurs in a daydream,
it seems there's no stopping it.
I'm forced to go back in time,
and watch it all bit by bit.

In my mind's eye,
there are so many stories.
In my mind's eye,
each one gets told in all its glory.

Will I ever sleep peacefully,
is what I do wonder.
When I hear once again the siren's cry,
piercing my world like thunder.

In my mind's eye,
I see the shovel drop the dirt on top.
In my mind's eye,
I pray that the pain will soon stop.
