a nightmare so fearful
crashing down with lightning
teardrops flowing rapidly
gripping the covers frightfully.

seeking salvation
come to my rescue
danger is near
& my heart so gentle

i'm skeptical of the next move
risking my life is no option
a stern restriction to my thoughts
guess its a warning from my conscience

should i listen to the noise
coming internally to me
should i make a run for it
fearing my life i may never see?

.....again
