Nightmare
A. W. Nutter
Consciousness in full retreat
Body surrendering to fatigue
Spiritual takeover is complete
Viewing a hallway of intrigue
The corridor seems endless
On each side, doors aligned
Physical body lays defenseless
Spiritual vacation in my mind
One word adorns each door
My inner ear, hears the names
My image cowers on the floor
Opening the one named games
This trip, becomes monotonous
Too satisfy a dead mans desires
Delivered to the realm of the sadist
Every night, the same nightmare
An adult, transforms into a child
As the spawn of Satan approaches
Waves of pain, the body defiled
Door shuts as sunlight encroaches
Screams pierce the quiet morning
Bound tightly, in sweaty sheets
Realizing I'm the one screaming
Tired of walking on horror street
Grip on sanity, becoming pointless
Nightly reliving the sadists attacks
Use to believe dreams were harmless
Until seeing the wounds upon my back
