May 2014
I had that dream again, the one where she is standing
by herself on the side of the highway...
It quickly faded and i turned to see them standing next to me
It then turned into a night terror
The sun turned dark and the dead awoke
Alarms rang as the floods reached the top levels of our heaven
the sky opened to make way for the falling stars
the monsters below tore through the ground like paper
As i was forced to leave the ones i loved to the ghouls,
the walls we built had been torn down
I could hear the screams of those above whom i promised to save
the words brought the myths to life
Death came and took all the ones i was too slow to reach
As I reached the roof, a lone survivor, my hands covered
in blood and my tears with limps in my steps.
I saw you standing over the edge, and the entire world went quiet
So all I heard was your pounding heart whereas mine stopped
and your voice broke the silence... "It was not enough..."
As you stepped back to let gravity take your life,
my screams were mute and my legs failed to carry me
then the sun crushed me and my eyes were then open.
Sleep paralysis took over but I could still feel the sun's weight on me.
My own head created that trauma, that world where
I was the last one to live...
Just a dream right?
Now get out of bed, you've got the real world to face
Dreams are crazy. But they show us things we'd never thought we'd see.
