Nightmares

I close my eyes to go to sleep
I feel my fears start to creep
My soul just wants to be set free
Nothing but darkness is surrounding me

I’m trapped in this state of constant fear
I see the light but it never comes near
The more I run towards it the farther it goes
Can I get there before the doors close?

Back in darkness I twist and I twist
Looking for a way out I know I missed
No such luck for me there is no chance for me to flee
The darkness tries to take over me

I cannot see what lies in waiting
But I feel the evil accumulating
It wraps its hands around my throat
And whispers to me a demonic quote

I thrash against this evil grip
Each turn I take I feel blood drip
Out of my neck it drops to the floor
This will keep going for evermore

I cannot breath my airway constricted
My vision is blurry and afflicted
My body slammed against a wall
The darkness engulfs me I feel so small

Nothing but darkness can I see
Slowly inching its way into me
It fills my lungs so thick and dense
My end is coming, that I sense

The evil presence takes hold of my heart
I feel as though its about to rip me apart
This burning pain is sinking in
The flames of hell are touching my skin

The tears flow down my cheeks
I try to scream but not a squeak
There I go I’m slipping through
My fate has been sealed this I knew

I feel like I’m falling
Into the darkness it is calling
I have no other place to go
In this world the light wont show

Then I wake up with a start
I place my hand upon my heart
Sweat is dripping down my face
I’m breathing at a rapid pace

This nightmare is on replay
I can’t get it to go away
This evil presence is haunting me
I whisper softly a short plea

So as I close my eyes to sleep
I feel my fears start to creep
My soul just wants to be set free
Nothing but darkness is surrounding me
