Sometimes walking down
These midnight streets
With little light on my path
Just my feet to carry me
Scattered thoughts
She pops into my mind
Losing all balance and concentration
Straying into the darkened streets
Two lights peering from around the corner
Like the devils eyes staring at my soul
Just before it hits
I see her behind the wheel
I awaken gasping for air
Clutching onto my pillow
Staring out of my window at the street lamps
The clock ticks 12:01
like it does every night without her
Just the same repeating nightmare I tell myself
I lay my head back down
Tears crawling down my cheeks
I scream at the top of my lungs
“WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE END!?”
…..and when can I start to feel better?

Sometimes walking down
These midnight streets
With little light on my path
Just my feet to carry me
Scattered thoughts
She pops into my mind
Losing all balance and concentration
Straying into the darkened streets
Two lights peering from around the corner
Like the devils eyes staring at my soul
Just before it hits
I see her behind the wheel
I awaken gasping for air
Clutching onto my pillow
Staring out of my window at the street lamps
The clock ticks 12:01
like it does every night without her
Just the same repeating nightmare I tell myself
I lay my head back down
Tears crawling down my cheeks
I scream at the top of my lungs
“WHEN WILL THIS NIGHTMARE END!?”
…..and when can I start to feel better?
