Nightmares

I'm dreading the moment I fall asleep The night so silent and still not even a peep Nightmares engulf my thoughts like parasites Taking each and every fear to newer heights The sandman has brought me a vivid dream so horrid and gruesome it makes me scream Brutal violence an agonizing tortures all I see This isn't real I tell myself.. Or could it be? I feel my sanity start to fade in and out throat starts to tighten I can't even shout Suddenly I snap awake scared an shaken Never thought from this hellish dream I'd awaken
