Stuck In the Dark
My sleep used to be peaceful
I slept without dreams
And without bone chilling memories
I wake up in tears
From the sound of my screams.
My nights are tainted
My world is being opened
My inner peace destroyed
I'm afraid to sleep
These nightmares are killing me
I don't know what to do
I'm stuck in the dark
Afraid of the truths revealed
The night terrors - constant
Sleep - a dIstant memory
BUT
Id rather not sleep
Then see the horrors
Of a time once forgotten
