A noise, quiet but echoing
I get up to look around
but the light doesn't turn on
I try the hallway
again no light
what's happening, I get scared
A noise behind me this time
I turn around
light, finally a light is on
I walk into the room I'd just left
darkness again, the light went out
I make my way to the stairs
still without any light
I feel more scared, I hear a voice
my dad?, no wait it was me
but how
I go down the stairs
still no light
my voice again, "Come here"
what is happening
so scared now, shaking like crazy
I still here my voice but I hear a noise again behind me
I spin
nothing
I see something
a light
but from where
the kitchen
I get there and it goes out again
who's doing this to me
I close my eyes
wishing, praying it will end
a voice in front of me
not mine but I recognise it from somewhere
but not sure
the voice it says
"It's okay, you can wake up now"

I wake up in bed
it was only a nightmare
I feel happy, safe
until the next time I fall a sleep
the dream will return, just like all the other times

Lets run away, just you and me
escape from our problems and our mistakes
lets run away from all the things that bring us down
anywhere you want as long as we're together
anywhere from here must be better

Lets run away from the negativity
escape from the world that makes us sad
lets run away from the horrors of today
anywhere you want as long as we're together
anywhere from here must be better

We can travel the seas and make waves
travel across land and make footprints
or travel the stars and make history
Lets run away from the world
escape into our dreams
lets run away, just you and me
anywhere you want as long as we're together
anywhere from here must be better

You said you would love me forever.
You whispered those things in my ear.
Now those thoughts are but ****** remains,
ripped too soon from my eager veins.
I crumble.
I tear and tumble.
I feel your hands,
Here,
Here,
Here.
Unbeknownst they've disappeared.
We once thought the word "forever" as though we'd invented it.
My holy writ.
****** words dripping from my lips,
All sour and soiled,
drowned in imminent turmoil.
Who knew forever would be so short.
abort.
abort.
Where are my million years?
In place,
a  million tears,
million fears,
million bottled beers,
unclears,
slutty sneers,
you're too drunk, stay right here's.
You said you would love me forever,
you whispered those things in my ear.
