Nightmare

You were a nightmare,

That stepped silently in

Dark ambience of the night,

You were the same nightmare

I was living in,

That I couldn't even get rid of

In the dawn light.

You were scary enough to

Give me sleepless nights

And freeze my bones blue,

But what's scarier is

They say dreams do come true

And nightmares are dreams too!

I caught a glimpse of your long hands,

And my blotched fingers itched to interwine with you,

I was resting in peace with a chilling aura of darkness,

But your curious hands made it through,

You flattened your palms in the misty gases,

Urging me to come forward with you,

But how could I when I'm detained in fancy vines,

They clasped my wrists to draw out blood from my veins,

Until they slowly decayed the abode I made for you,

Murdered the heart that couldn't refuse the likes of you.
