Nightmare

A waking night can’t touch the pain Of gentle teardrops in the rain But as the thing begins to grow Inside the feelings start to show And now you’re trembling in your bed Wondering if the fear will spread You look to me so fearlessly With no dread of the darkest dreams The bed sheets whisper as they move The noise is chilling and quite unsmooth And as the floor begins to creak You are the terror that now must sneak Alongside me you brush your hair Now you’re the one who begins to stare Your look is so strong I finally wake Your body no longer can shake I tuck you in and nestle close You’re safe with me under our cloak
