Nightmares
Nightmares
A sweet dream gone wrong
He whispers, his lips an icy blue
Tears fall swift as you look upon
The boy you thought you knew
He’s changed you see
Clear as night during the day
Who else could he be
Except the soul that went away
As pale as snow he is
No sparkle to be seen
A walk too sad to be his
Tear filled eyes no longer green
A world filled with grey and dusk
Never to be morn
Not a boy but an empty husk
A nightmare was born
A hiss a scream the creature wakes
An earth shattering shriek
The canyon quakes
A moment so bleak
Then there he is again
The boy you knew way back when
