In the Forest of My Dreams

Deep in the forest of my dreams I gently fall like dying leaves to drown in flowing bloody streams; a place where no one ever grieves. Chased by angry naked nurses deep in the forest of my dreams flying witches cast their curses; nobody there to hear my screams. Shattered glass reflecting moonbeams lighting toothless, gnawing spider. Deep in the forest of my dreams, distance from what's safe grows wider. Awake, I sweat, I'm terrified I wonder if it's what it seems I've lived, I've loved, I've killed, I've died deep in the forest of my dreams.
