After everything that we went through,
it's all now ashes on the ground.
I know I've said this is the last time,
many times before,
but this is the last time, I will let you hurt me again.

If I gave you up so easily,
why am I still hurting?
If I knew all along we were a lost cause,
why am I still searching?
If I made a lucky get away from the hell that was you,
then why do I still feel the same!

You were like a tornado,
tearing my world apart from the inside out.
You still haunt my dreams
turning them all to nightmare, all too easily...
So why do you still have me and when you shouldn't?

Numbness
In the quiet
Rattling peace
Confusion in chaos
Created by me

Hollow heart
Deadness within
It's not real pain
It's mental
Yet unbearably insane

Seeking punishment
Well deserved
It's ok
Turn your back
It's well earned

Quailing nightmare
Find no peace
Hurt me to ****
The beast
To make it cease.

Time's the enemy
For I suffer
Deeping hole
Widening abyss
Where I can't find my lover

We all have bad days, we are human.  Some of us have a daily struggle with the hollowness left by the monster within.

they say you are a dream
but baby we have nightmares too

How long has it been since the pillows touched my head and I haven't been greeted by everything I've bled.

I finally returned home
After a lingering day
I looked into the mirror
my steaming tears snake down my face but I push down my sorrows long enough to forget
The smell of warm sheets right out of the dryer cuddled my body like a tight expecting hug
As I placed my hand upon my heated cheek
I could feel the dampness of my warm skin
I shouldn't worry about a thing right now but I do
Ready to sleep under the glow in the dark stars where my life centered beneath at this time of sorrow
I drift off
--- 6am ---
My eyes abruptly explode open
It's so dark
I can't make out anything
Trying to drift back asleep but my eyes won't close
I try to get up but a force stops me
Moving a muscle is impossible at this point
I opened my mouth to scream in terror but It takes my breath away
I can faintly make out its face
It's me
A perfect copy of my every feature
She doesnt think the same ways as me nevertheless
Taunting me
All my fears spit out her teeth
Just like that she's gone
Now It takes the shape of my loved ones
Surrounding me
They hold me down while I am sleeping and brag how they are perfect

I kept chasing it
Like a distant dream
But dreams aren't just dreams
They can also be
nightmares!
I was reading a book about him, because I got lost in his maze.

The glimpse of rotten skulls, broken joints and stolen eyeballs got me agape.

I heard the trees scream loud and dance blind in the darkness to the raging wind.

Even though no, yet he seems to stand akimbo ahead the freaked me In his black hoody cloak that made him darker than the darkness that engulfed the scene.

Who again will rescue my soul from the grip of he who purloin my healthy mind?

He was a familiar sight in my nightmares for years rewind.

If I break loose tonight, next time, the reaper will still come to grasp my ****.
