Too many days
have gone by in worry
too many nights
in nightmares

Too many afternoons
in soppy tears
too many mornings
with short breath

There are no happy endings
only endings
only means to an end
only dying to live
beyond our means
Caitlin Faykus Nov 2020
When the depression hits
I suddenly become empty
It's like the world around me has stopped spinning
Life becomes dull
And at this point
I would do anything to feel something
Because the nothing is killing me
But then after awhile
When the nightmares start to fade
And my world resumes its rotation
All of the emotions start rushing back
And at this point
I would do anything to go back to feeling
Nothing

the nightmares don't phase me for long because i'm relieved when they're over

what haunts me is waking up from the dreams where i have everything

it's losing what i never had that leaves me empty

i can't tell what makes me more frustrated:
how realistic these peaceful dreams can be
or how naive my mind is to mistake these fantasies

as reality

I have nightmares
And not the kind that leave
Once you wake up
The kind that follow you everywhere
Entangle me in dreams, put me in labyrinth
Of fear and faith and farewell to my sins
I long survived the horrors of the living dead
When every breath you take is false, it pins
Your conscience that you shouldn’t breathe at all
Survival long time meaningless, it seems
That not too soon the calm night comes
Devoid of falling, failure, ghastly ghosts so mean,
So cruel in their unfairness, unforgivable...
I’ve seen so many of the nasty ‘FINs’
And every time it shreds my heart to gaping wounds
But I still live...
I’d rather sleep it through instead
Than take another battle to my wins


I’d rather stop the earth from spinning altogether
Than risk the chance it all anew begins


I want no more of suffering through the days, when
The memories’ parade appears on all the screens
I scream

They say that time is healing everything that’s wounded
But time erases everything, not heals
The nasty scar on your wife’s skin
Instead, that skin is rotting in the grave
And every time I see it in my mind, I hope it be
The last time I can see, and think, and feel,
And breathe.

I used to have nightmares every night and day, but now every seconds, minutes and hours is worst.
Can someone wake me please?

My days are set
for getting nightmares
which I feel to admire
at my best..
:)
And nights are
set to bear
whole day's
Fear..
Never desire too much in your life..
Try to be happy with the things
U got!!!

The woman in white visits me at night,
She knows when I'm alone, without you by my side.
She knows when I cry, and when I sleep. She knows that I make you weep.
She haunts me through the night, the bed will soon no longer smell of you.
Only me, and the woman in white.
I wanted to call you last night. My night terrors got the better of me. I miss you and it only just happened. I dreamt I asked you what's wrong. Each time I asked, you said "nothing", even after I hung up.

What do I do?

We live in a world full of nightmares while searching for fairytales

We look for the sugar among the salt knowing what the truth entails

We pursue the light amid the darkness aware that we are doomed to fail

We dig for gold knowing that we are digging up our own grave
