Nightmare Image of Lies
Image of Lies
I lay asleep in bed wanting to sneak away,
splitting the curtains of chagrin reflection,
hue colored rainbows of dawn to bleak dark sunlight.
Instead I find myself in a cold confined labyrinth.
In sorrow turned adrift wraith shadows in black mourning;
paralyzed in fear my screams erupted
no one turned no one heard.
Rage assails no reason.
Tortured dreams hard to wake from
screams and fear suppressed.
Grieve, I am trying so hard to put behind me.
I awake slumber some and walk into the room
they are in black mourning.
My body's soul had left me lying in bed while it wandered.
Thoughts of my state almost despising
where image dream of lies grievous mania strives.
