Takes me back

As I close my eyes I go back to the past,

I recall those memories , i wish that could last,

But then I open my eyes and I’m back to reality ,

Am I dreaming  or is it some sort

Of insanity,

I sit in the car and my mind flashes,

A memory of the past hits me and clashes,

I’m back in the past and it’s so familiar,

Yet I’m back to reality, something so similar,

Next thing you know I’m lying in bed,

I wake up in the past then everything turns red,

Then I’m back in the reality of my own bed,

So similar and instead,

The past continues to flash into my life,

Is it the familiar or the strife,

That keeps me coming back,

For another flashback that send me out of wack
