A twisted image,
fills your mind,
as you finally lay down,
for a much needed rest.
But will you sleep?

Your thoughts swirl,
into a mix of words,
that make no sense,
in your head.
But do you even see?

Your eyes close,
and they open in a new world,
that's filled with light,
and everything beautiful.
But is it all true?

The light changes,
to a cold dark,
that churns your insides,
with sharp fear.
How do you feel now?

The beauty you saw,
mislead your senses,
and made you believe,
that you had the right intentions.
Do you like being deceived?

A person appears before you,
their voice was gentle,
yet their eyes were angry,
you were wrong.
Did you think you never were?

You wake up,
with the fear still lodged deep,
into your gut,
and you notice the person,
outside your window,
and you're wondering,
as you lock eyes.
Was this really all a dream?
