Haunted Memories

As I look back on my younger days
I am reminded of all the years that have gone to waste
People change and life goes on
But I will never forget those who have done me wrong
They haunt me in my dreams, terrorize me and rob me of my freedom
Leaving me wondering if I ever even needed them
Often feeling sick and tired
These sleepless nights are keeping me wired
I turn to alcohol in attempt to drown my fear
But it only seems to make it harder to think clear
The pills start to kick in and my vision turns blurry
Waiting for the darkness to take over and choke me
Crossing my fingers I'll make it through the night
Without constantly waking up in fear of my life
Their shadows stand over me as I drift off to sleep
Knowing that I'm already in far too deep
