Nightmares

by Danielle Clay   Aug 3, 2011


Night after night I'm terrified of sleeping
But my eyes...they can't always be peeping
And suddenly I'm plunged into madness
While screaming and crying with great sadness

In the dark I shout and scream
Trying to wake from this horrendous dream
Sweat starts dripping down my back
Heart racing...like a heart attack

Every night it's always the same
I'm forced into this horrible game
He's laughing, mocking, staring at me
My soul is bound...it cannot be free

I try my hardest to escape all this
But each new attempt is a horrifying miss
In this dream I try to run
But you've got me...you think it's fun

You enjoy this Hell you put me through
But it isn't fun for me like it is for you
I want to leave this awful place
Never again do I want to see your face

You torture me with thoughts so sad
I know you're just trying to make me mad
Yet it still gets to me every single time
Please give me my soul...it's not yours, but mine

I can only wait for this to go away
Soon I'll see the light of day
And quickly wake up from this scare
Just glad I escaped another nightmare...
