Nightmares

Running.

Running.

Never stopping.

Isn’t that what you want?

Hiding.

Hiding.

Always Hidden.

Did you really think I forgot?

I run and run,

And look for cover.

But still the tortures

Will persist.

They call these dreams?

This, is a nightmare.

On and on..

I don’t want this.

A brand new terror

Every night.

Plucked from my brain,

For the worst of frights.

On and on

My dream recurring,

Peaceful nights

All fade away.

I wake up crying,

No comfort for me.

I pray and hope…

Yet the nightmares stay.

Spiders, heart break,

Those are easy.

Darkness, Pain,

One and the same.

From telling me

Iv been forgotten,

To drowning slow

In acid rain.

I hope one day

They leave my head,

I hate the feel

Of constant dread.

So lets hope that

When again a sleep,

Ill dream of something soft,

Like sheep.
