The Haunting

It comes in dreams now,
That which the past should have long ago ended.
The unknow Terror,
something bad will come at any moment.

My screamed words of terror
Wake my son.
I awaken on the edge of panic,
heartbeat irregular.
I tur n on the TV
and try to tune it out.

Thanks for reading this. Yes, it is night terrors where past damage enters your dreams. They are crazy terrible.
