Poem
I'm dying I remember thinking that Still questioning it when i woke up crying Drenched in sweat It was a bad one tonight Those never fail to linger the longest The ones I can't fight Where I'm never the strongest Twenty-four, still the darkness scares me It's the ally of nightmares Helps them crawl back in Together, an unmistakable and inescapable pair Blankets, dragged over my head A blockade for enemies As if that could stop them They trample through it with impeccable ease Our fears they know At our desires they smirk Laughing at our blissful dreams While planning the ones they know will hurt Always about death Usually not my own Ones i care for and love In the end, leaving me completely and utterly alone This one, this one was different They know death is not my fear Instead they tortured him His eyes i watched beg...his screams i still hear Finding him was only a matter of time In my dreamland he always awaits I meet him there often So they used me as bait A heroic fool he was Chasing me into darkness They knew he'd come for me Not knowing, towards me, they're harmless I escaped their grasp Knowing already i was too late The life seeped from his eyes To them, this was his fate They forced me to watch Then allowed me to live Knowing the paid I would feel I would wish i was dead A lover in my dreams Couldn't wait to meet him there They felt my love for him Now he'll never escape my nightmares I can't let them have him again So fighting sleep I'll try I'll be stronger this time But it'll only fuel their fire How do you kill a nightmare Decidedly demons What other beings so evil Creep into your mind while you're dreaming If its a battle they want It's a battle i'll start They deserve to be punished Their evil has nothing over my vengeful heart My eyelids, oh so heavy Like the clouds that hold the rain Here come the shadows in the darkness Upon me they force their claim Grasping and clawing like fingers of a beast Climbing up over the bed Spilling over me, heavy liquid They've got me, they're inside my head.... I'm dying I remember thinking that Still questioning it when i woke up crying Drenched in sweat
