Nightmare Within

Wide awake I am as my soul is shaken to its core The nightmare I had tonight was a story that is beyond lore I saw the ones I love leave me one by one And the idea that I could ever be happy was finally done My heart ripped and tore into a pile of pieces Pieces that put together look like a picture of you and me and what we was meant to be Yet reality struck me and my heart knew that your love was never free It struck, whipped and tortured my mind destroyed the happy thoughts I had and created a monster instead It was a gruesome dark monster with evil thoughts running around in its head Lonesome and sad it was, it soon grew angry and destroyed its relationships one by one Blasting away friends and family with the ferocity of a shotgun It let no one around it and it soon became isolated And that image left you elated The monster was depressed and had a shrunken core It raged and cried with a loud and trembling roar It looked in the water to see its reflection And it was shocked at who it was you see you leaving me was not the true nightmare What scared me the most was facing what I had become
