It's interesting how someone can be human
Then change to not human at all
To not give a care or call
When the person they loved is hurting

But are you having nightmares like me
The inability to sleep
Do you also fear for your life
When you lay your head at night

Are you having flashbacks too
Of a night so horrible and blue
I'm stained with a permanent hue
And you just get to go back to your life

And the saddest part of me
Is when I'm crying and dying
all I ever want to do
Is to reach out and ask you

To rescue me, But I forgot
All your feelings left that day when you did
And I left your mind in an instant
Never to return again

You forgot me like I was a blink
A moment in the unnecessary wind
A rock in your shoe you removed
Finally you're free, you must be so happy

And this isn't about you,
Or wanting you back cause I don't
It's about me having no one to keep me safe
And remembering you did before

If I said the word you'd be knocking at my door
I just need a rescuer someone to cover my ears at night
Hold me a little closer
And be with me through the fight

But tonight I have medication
Yes I drug myself to sleep
And some nights it gives me nightmares
But it's the only way I'll count sheep
