Every mistake made
Written, permanent
Never fades

His eyes are hard
Body heavy
His eyes are hard, and
Steadily
Trained on me, and I can't run
Watch the year and all I've become
Come steadily
Undone
Run
Run
Not enough, it's over
Done
So done.

Days go by, the only constant
Is this spit, our bitter
Argument

I'm holding a stone
Feels like steel
So cold, so cold
And yet, so real
If I were to throw
it would you feel
Letting go
Let me heal

It ends
These tears
A hand on my arm
Sing me to sleep, say
that I can't be harmed
Yet as night draws in and the day cannot linger
Feel your frozen fingers
Shiver
I know I cannot live here
Yet
His eyes are soft
Body warm
His eyes are soft, and
Oh so calm
Held on me, and I'll hold on
Watch the summer, all I've become
Slowly
Become
Redone

Sing me to sleep, say
that I can't be harmed

You're all I have now
Say that I can't be harmed.
I had a nasty argument with my ex after we broke up while I was at the festival, and I've had to relive the moment several times while telling friends and family. Suffering from PTSD has not made this easy; I've been having nightmares about him forcing me back into a relationship, and I had my first flashback in a while earlier on today. However, there are a few people who have been helping me through and this is dedicated to their help <3
