Dread

Crazy girl with the porcelain mask
Memories and nightmares make a crack
Her cool facade starts retreating 
She bites her lip and forgets the bleeding
Her heart beat slows 
Mercilessly the crimson trail continues to flow 
She collapses and everything goes black
She wakes up and realizes she’s back
She closes her eyes and tries not to cry
She falls asleep and dreams she would die
The cycle begins again
The memories 
The nightmares 
The pain
 The Dread
