Fluffy rabbits hopping in meadows
rainbow flavoured dreams & feathers
falling from pink candy floss clouds
how I'd love my dreams in joys shroud

instead centipedes slowly crawl my way
across damp dark forest floor to stay
in my nightmares now & for years more
the monster a frequent caller at my door

Give me candy apples and dappled light
shining with colours pretty and bright
and light melodies smell of popcorn
and me riding clouds atop a unicorn

Instead taste of blood kerosene lamps
reflecting his shadows and sick smile
smell blood his laugh groaning sounds
and me trapped here my body tied down.
