Living Nightmares

Vivid memories surround As the darkness draws near A weak, wounded man Consumed by all fear This man cannot breathe His heart races on This past he must face Until the clock reaches dawn The remorse and regret He never thought he'd feel Is risen from these thoughts Cuts that won't heal Drowning in his own sorrow Has become a routine For he cannot escape this nightmare Because of tragedies unforeseen This hell he must endure Until he finally awakens To the bright light of day His soul completely shaken These dreams he can no longer take Tell the story of his being This happens every night There's no way to stop the bleeding

Kyle, I feel for the guy of this poem. Imagination or not, this is deep, ant cuts every layer of one's trust in life. It is sad to know we are not even saved in our dreams... Great poem... LINDA
