It's growing deathly paranoid
Being Strapped to this queen size bed of pain
Eyes blood shot
Body red hot
Tainted memories coursing
Through my veins
Paranoid once again
That just maybe
If I close my eyes
I'll see you kissing me
Over and over again
After the hundredth time
I know you're gone
But why exactly
Are the memories
Of yesterday
Still haunting
That chained up little girl
I pushed aside in the corner of my mind
She's crying
Holding out in vain
Asking me when
You'll be home again

powerful thoughts and images I can't help but like

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

You've done a really good job using some very strong imagery and words to convey a sense of loss so profound.  I like how you've used the psychological problem of paranoia so well in this poem.  The queen-sized bed was also a nice touch.  You certainly seem to know your way around literary devices.
