If All Your Dreams Were Nightmares
The mist slowly rises
curling its tail about a post
Coal black dust drips from corners
of memory's page
Drip
drip
drip
Shimmering black, surreal and cold
blood pools in its
Drip
drip
drip
Alone(forever) for now
Shimmering distance
It comes
growing larger, closer, clearer
iris of golden maroon
tears
Drip
drip
drip
from unseen gashes and tears
Blood (not) tears
Drip
drip
drip
from unseen gashes and tears
Shivering
cold,
Jump
If all your dreams were nightmares
Dream of what a nightmare
would be
