The Nightmare
A feeling I never knew
That I would draw in from you
Would be that I am feeling followed
Your darkness reaches deep
And I cannot lie and sleep
Without fear from the earth of being swallowed
And at first believed to feel
In your heart love was real
A wound you cut to deep has made me feel hollowed
I never knew I would get thru
The long cold dark nights from you
Would be the deepest part of this nightmare that followed
Like the look in your eyes
When caught by your surprise
Looking at a bottle of poison you just swallowed
I will never forget the look
From my eyes that you took
From far behind the dark pit of your soul all cut out and hollowed
