My Nightmare

What do I fear? Why am I scared?

Why was I caught in her trap, in her flare?

I think I'm sleep, I'm wide awake

My eyes are wide shut and her feelings for me were fake

I go outside and her boyfriend is accusing me

stabbing me over and over,verbally abusing me

with that word that brings demons to their knees

That word that makes even the devil insane and beg God please

to ease the pain of the mind and cast that word away

and let me never hear it again,let it never play

in my thoughts,in my dreams,in the depths of my soul

Let it pass through my heart unwanted and unknown

My heart is frozen in my chest,solid as a rock

but the cold in my mind brings thoughts that won't stop

Thoughts of betrayal,deception,dishonesty,and fate

Creator of my nightmares,creating my fear,piercing me like a stake

And that word,O that cursed,nauseating,sickening,hellish author

Writing the pages of my destruction with no one to stop her

Writing the chapter of my doom like the Grim Reaper

The word that burns holes in my mind and soul: SHEIKA
