Nightmare
The nightmares that comes at night are just because of this ...
In the dead of night, when all is still
And sleep has wrapped its gentle chill,
The mind can wander, far and wide
To places where it dare not reside.
And in this darkness, there can creep
A frightful creature, dark and deep,
A nightmare, born from fears and pain
That comes to haunt our sleep again.
It starts as whispers, soft and low
A rustling in the shadows, slow
And then it grows, with teeth and claws
A monster born of fears and flaws.
It prowls our minds, it stalks our dreams
A twisted thing, or so it seems
And though we know it is not real
It grips us tight, it makes us feel.
It brings us to a place of dread
A world of darkness, full of dread
And though we try to break its hold
It seems to never let us go.
But then we wake, we gasp for air
And find that we are safe, and there
And though the nightmare's grip was strong
It cannot harm us for too long.
For in the light of day we see
That monsters are not what they seem to be
And though they haunt us in our sleep
We wake to find they cannot keep
Their hold upon us, we are free
To live and love, and simply be
And though the nightmare lingers on
We know that soon it will be gone.
