Nightmare

You walking away
The image is haunting me
Burned into the backs
Of my eyes
Can't escape it
You looked back once
And then kept walking away
My worst nightmare realized.
Don't let yourself fall.
Don't open yourself to pain
Trying to close the door
Too much pressing against it
So easy to hate
So easy to love
I have to escape
This hold on me
A pitbull's jaw
Not easily broken.
But still fighting
To keep my head above water.
