Restless

A lamb’s bleat escapes your throat While you sleep being attacked by a fleet That dreaded dream is back again Rearing its ragged head Stirring up agony and dread Of all things—of all people—why you and your thoughts! Couldn’t the two of you drawn lots? Why did fate have to choose you to carry the burden? Thanks for this twisted plot. Out of the two of you, you thought it should have been him—feeling this pain With nothing left to gain. Time just kept on moving on! No time to acknowledge all of the injustice He was the one with a heart of ice Why isn’t he frozen and numb Making you speechless becoming dumb But you just stick up your thumb I’m good Glue on that smile Don’t give them a clue as to what he’s done to you Just close your eyes Get some sleep And there, There the fear begins to steep. Diffusing it’s black purple ooze of a bruise A lamb’s bleat escapes your throat Awaking you Drenched in sweat That dreaded dream is back again Rearing its ragged head Stirring up agony and dread Of all things—of all people—why you and your thoughts!
