Cemetery Dreams

Would you show me how you sleep so sweetly Or could you teach me how not to dream Mine have been deliberately consuming Considerately they've been killing me With reoccurring nightmares Of creaking cemetery gates The silent screams among the undead As they lay me down within my grave My heart beats restlessly inside of panic Anticipating this hell I've never met But it promised me that it missed me Through all the nights I never slept Its fingers grip tightly around my throat The other hand covers my eyes It hated that I believed in God And all of His softly unspoken lies Then I awake within a deeper panic I still feel the impressions of its hands Lord how many nights will I be pulled under Before your heavens will take me back ~JJF ~
