Shattered dreams
Of a nightmare claw,
Sweating brow
As the terror controls,
Eyes shut
The waking world is no more.

In dreams I shudder,
The terror knocking at my dream door,
What lurks behind this barrier
That keeps the abomination of my mind
behind this mental door.

I toss and turn, shout out loud,
The door becoming splintered.
The terror,
The nightmares
Are breaking through.
Night terrors
Clambering over my mind.

In search of forgotten thoughts
To twist
Mould,
corrupt,
In to that which will be distorted truths
They twist my mind as
There is no more door.

Shattered dreams,  
I wish not to sleep not any more,
As the dream demons
Always in wait behind my door.
