Nightmare

I LOVE YOU AND AND HATE YOU
IN THE SAME PRECIOUS BREATH
YOUR PRESENCE HAUNTS ME
I WANDER THROUGH THE VAST TUNDRA
THE ENDLESS DAYS ARE MEANINGLESS
WITHOUT YOU
THIS COLD BARENESS
YOUR BLUE ICE STARE
IS PULLING ME UNDER
YOUR LONG THIN FINGERS
ORCHESTRATE MY PAIN
THE TIDE WASHES ME ASHORE
A FRAGMENT OF MY FORMER
FROZEN
FOREVER WAITING
ON THE SANDS OF TIME.
