night terrors
What are you thinking all alone, my dear
As you sit worried by your fire so bright
Do you reflect on the bad days of yore
While you stare at the red flickering flame
Is there something from your past that you fear
So you try to keep the dark out with light
As over nightmare memories you pore
And wonder who was there really to blame
One painful memory should not so sear
Which still haunts you dreadfully through the night
Striking deep within into your heart's core
With all the horror of a deadly game
Many of us share such memories sore
And suffer sleepless nights in senseless shame
