Nightmare

Low below the foaming seam,
Slowly grows a bright red gleam,
Only known in my own dreams,
Lonely drone of evil schemes.

It swims fast, it wont last,
But right now it's forever,
It kills me, it always sees,
Let me go? It will never.

Enemy springs of my dark blue mind,
Relentlessly shines a crimson light,
Endlessly smiles at its old find,
Gradually raises knife at its own kind.

The swift hunter rips soul asunder,
Are my tears not enough?
To stain red my own head,
Please dont be so rough!

"You are on high alert"
"You see your life is due"
"Come willingly it will hurt"
"Come here let me kill you"

Never willingly will I surrender,
Only killing me will end this terror,
Not giving me a chance of error,
You maliciously enjoy my tremor.

"Come here you little bird"
"I'll slash you, enjoy your screams"
"I almost have you I'm undeterred"
"Come to me, I'll tear at your seams"

I always run, I never escape
"We are right behind you, that is why!"
No matter where, I'm never safe
"Noone else will hear you cry!"

"Little bird is in red hot pain"
"I laugh and slash and make it rain"
"All thats left is but avian stain"
"Alas now without a brain"

"I was its child, I've to go too"
"Murder suicide an endless rondo"
"Til next time, where I'll pursue"
"Your concious of endless blue"
