Old Nightmare
Light flickers from a candle sweet scent subtle in the air
Eyes swollen from a sleepless night still linger there
Shadows dance on the wall from the candles flickering flame
Wondering now if her life will ever be the same
Thoughts impossible to gather in her foggy mind
Muddled memories desperate to leave behind
Forgotten images now linger in the days new light
Old dreams reoccurring causing the sleepless night
Will those dreams of that night forever last
Why is there no freedom from memories past
It seems the reality will always be there to see
Will only forgiveness be what sets her free
