Panic squeezes my heart
I dreaded our distance apart
On my phone, I see your feet
I wasn't excepting to face the heat
My hands shake, my body quivers
Just the thought of it gives me shivers
I shouldn't have let you go
I'm so sorry that I was too slow
Your memory forever haunts me
Your name makes me fall to a knee
I am unsure of who I am
And trying to remember makes my head slam
I couldn't stop you, though I tried
I hoped long ago that my tears would have dried
Sometimes I hear your final gasp
And it reminds of how far you were out of my grasp
I can see your chair fall, hear your neck snap
My heart pounds heavily, as though I've just run a lap
I am traumatized, so scared and feeling small
I often see your smiling face looking down the hall
The last memory I have is a constant haunt
My trauma isn't something that I flaunt
Abuse it and you will surely see
Karma will come, but not from me
I may appear strong, but I am certainly weak
What she put me through gives me nasty streak
I'm haunted by memories I cannot flee
But use them against me, and what will come, you will not see
