What is PTSD
Post traumatic stress disorder

What could remains be compared to
Charge of the light brigade, exposure and war photographer

His bloody life in my
Bloody hands

A situation of conflict where you aren’t sure what the right thing is to do
And the drink and drugs won’t
Flush him out

Except not really

Shows how much he reflects on it and that he revisits it often in episodes or nightmares
