"Nightmare"

My heart is full of aching fear

Not knowing where my life will steer

My sleep is full of restless dreams

I'm troubled as to what it means

My waking moments are filled with dread

Of wondering where my nightmare lead

I can't remember what is I meet

But I spend my days in fear of sleep

The nightmare dies before the dawn

And lays cloudless in a mindless storm

I fight my mind to understand

The fear that stalks my slumberland

Evening time and my fear it darkens

With tired eyes my soul it beckons

I surrender to sleep its reckoning time

I wonder if I'll wake in control of my mind

My dreams lead me to a frightning place

The evils of thr night to face

I contemplate fear as I slip down further

And try to hide my self far under the covers

As the fear it grips. it starts the chase

Will I ever be able to win this race

It claws at me within the black

I feel it tighten until I am trapped

Gasping and choking I drown in the night

Always struggling to see the light

The light becomes stronger the more that I fight

Yet I fear somehow I won't survive this night

I awake shivering in sweat soaked sheets

Wondering how I accomplishe this great feat

I'll spend my days in fear of sleeping

Until it decides my soul is for keeping
