Midnight Blues

I become enmeshed in my fears Soaked in sweat and tears Screaming and wondering who's near Enough to hear But for those timeless moments There are no eyes or ears Because dreams occur in isolation So I don't know What hurts more, the helplessness Or the hopelessness People reading this might think I'm weird I scream in pain In my deepest dreams When problems rain down my day And scream out my name While flying in my face taunting me Wanting me to scream in pain And when I scream I forget to pray and thus lose the day Because then my outcomes Are predetermined by my nightmares And then, The giantess from my sister's dreams Appears and chases me across the plain And I run but I'm no match Because her stride is worth ten of mine And I'm caught the moment I stop To catch a breath She says I'm all she needs for a meal Brings me up to her nose and sniffs And then I jump and endlessly fall Screaming until I'm zapped out of sleep
