Nightmare

Sleepless, staring at the ceiling,
Thoughts drifting in and out of you,
Nightmares possess my only escape,
From the reality I'm bound to,

Dreams I'd sooner forget,
Plague me into the night,
Turning over and over again,
There's no winning this fight.

By the day light I'm trapped,
With thoughts I cant block away,
By the night tormented,
With images of your face.

The darkness cant erase the pictures,
And i can barely breath,
In this state of barely waking,
Everything feels like reality.

Cant discern where the dream ended,
Or if it ever began,
Sitting straight up my heart stops,
As I pray to never feel that again.

And all the fears deep in my heart,
That rip me apart inside,
Every beat breaking my soul,
Keeps me awake through the night.

Another night spent living in,
All the pain I keep,
Sleepless again I'm dreaming of you,
Silently cry myself back to sleep.
