Nightmares

the taste of air, dry on your tongue, the sounds of nothing, of songs unsung. the feeling of ghost bumps, prickling your neck, the smell of blood, bodies are wrecked. the view of darkness, the sky and stars these are what nightmares are. the smile of a friend, as they realize their fate. the tears on your face, 'cause you know its to late. the laugh of a murderer, cocking his gun, the scream of a kid, as he has his fun. street lights, abandoned cars, these are what nightmares are. the voices plotting inside your head, the monsters screaming under your bed. he feeling os someones eyes or your neck, the scrape of a blade as it puts you to death. your arms, the regretful scars these are what nightmares are.
