Nightmare

Locked in by your own mind
minuets slipping, melting time
tossing and turning
eyes are churning
truing to find someway out

unknown territory
unknown grounds
unknown whispers
unknown sound
stepping on fragile glass
reality slipping in at last

wanting nothing but somewhere there
to hold you close, squeeze out the scare
to cast away the burned in frights
that haunted you throughout the night

the empty silence
makes it harder to forget
it slips in like the silent death
that hides his face from light and goodness
when all he does, is leave you bruises

the nightmare comes in steady flows
to make it seem it comes and goes
that fear you feel
won't disappear

and waking up
you finally escape
away from that cursed, retched place
but still memories slip right in
and you realize, its just pretend

the mind you see
is a funny thing
one minuet is yours
the other, no key
it's a confusion work
a piece of art
but can drill a hole
deep in your heart
it can burn in your eyes
and run through your blood
as the memories come
you shout above

a nightmare is haunting
like a tormented ghost
there’s nothing to do, so we cannot boast
who knows why they come here
and lurk in our mind
who knows why this do this
for that certain time

maybe they're miserable
like most of the tears
who feed on our torments
who suck on our fears

A nightmare is confusing
or maybe just lost
searching for people
that have a loose lock
easily entranced
they have all the keys
but all that I know...is it happened to me.
