My heart is pounding in my head
As invisible hands pin me to my bed
A ghostly touch caresses my skin
There's no point fighting, I cannot win
Imaginary fingers twist through my hair
Silent words linger in the air
My skin is crawling, I can't breathe
There's nothing I can do to make him leave
I can hear his voice, loud and clear
Even though he's not really here
I'm as scared as I was back then
Because now I'm right back there again
Sometimes I scream and shout
But all I can do is sit it out
I curl up in a ball and hope
That one day I might be able to cope
I wonder, will I ever be free
Of the flashbacks that are still haunting me
