Horrible Nightmare
The horror of it
Fear that is ingrained in me
I saw a dire man
Wanting to take out my eyes
So that he may see again
The terror I felt
Even as I did wake up
Pain enveloped me
Corrugated through my soul
I had never felt this way
Fear instilled in me
As I checked my eyes again
They’re still there I see
I hope to never feel that
Never see terror again
