The Strain

The Strain 
A manuscript through horror 
Remnant 6 feet under 
Dwindled sadness 
Insomnie, 24 hours 
Array of darkness 
Just another nightmare 
Creepy lullabies softly in the background 
Screams with no sound 
Strove to run away 
Madness awaits 
The strain 
Locked down in chains 
Haunted eyes 
Darkest dreams come alive 
Nothing else to give 
Exhausted to the brink 
No rain to drink 
Haunted bedtime story 
Presume dead ghostly 
Vague memory 
Nightmares consume me
