Dreams, Bad ones

I don’t want to go to sleep.
Please don’t make me go to sleep

The pain, the hurt, the lies
The blood, the flames, the screams

The fear, the loss, the rejection
The guilt, the darkness, the death

I don’t want to go to sleep.
Please don’t make me go to sleep

In my dreams you fade away,
You run from me.
You leave me there,
Bleeding and broken

I wake up crying and screaming
My mind may be foggy right now
But everything is alive in my dreams

The darkness moves and shifts
While the light coils and hisses

Nothing is good there…Nothing but you
And yet you leave….

I know this isn’t real….
I know you wouldn’t do that to me…

But I am scared all the same…
Scared that maybe my nightmares will come true

That I will be alone again,
Drowning,
Bleeding,
Burning,
Screaming

And no one will remember me….
And you never cared….
