Nightmare

Deafening silence that kills all senses,
Peaceful dreams showing me what to feel,
A soft nightmare breaks my defenses,
With only one objective - to steal,

My heart descends without warning,
Colorful dreams fade to depressing grays,
A darkened image is what I'm scorning,
As I plead, "Grace give me better days",

Sick of this monotone buzzing in my ear,
Nightmares manipulate my favorite lies,
Abhorring my newest enemy named fear,
As it ignores my heart-felt cries,

Now the sky is anything but acquirable,
Stuck in an existence with no aesthetic,
Freedom erodes to a dream not desirable,
As I dream up a nightmare more poetic...
