"nightmare"

I'm falling like a raindrop through the trees... Grabbing branches with emotions on my sleeve... Free falling in the dark, with grinding fears that leaves a mark... A landing not seen in years, all that's waiting is a puddle of tears... Cry's so loud that can't be heard, I scratch my name just to form a word... Are there arms waiting for me, or is this just my destiny... I hope I wake from this dream, to find nothing is as it seems...
