nightmares

Night Terrors
What is your deepest darkest nightmare?
Where you sleep with teeth clenched and under your lids your eyes glare.
Or those mornings you awake drenched in sweat,

    My dreams are too real, unreal, or not real enough,
in some I'm afraid and in others I'm tough.
As soon as I close my eyes I see people in other places,

  
 
    I have dreamt of yesterday and I've dreamed of tomorrow,
I have dreamt of future events that could bring me sorrow.

The crack of dawn comes early they say,
not early enough to take nightmares away.
All night I toss and all night I turn,
from memories I wish I could burn.

As I was asleep again,
In a dream that wouldn't end.
In the dream there was no mistake,
that there would be no escape.
I could not wake
I could not talk

The darkness, the darkness it takes me away,
it dances in my dreams where my demons stay.
I get no peace as I lay in the night,
I toss and turn fight after fight.
