HAUNTED

Everything's so damn vivid, so real
as I'm running through the house
He's Iced up and insanely livid
I've got to run and hide, Shh!
be quiet as a mouse
his face so red, he's got me now
eyes blank, sweat dripping from
his brow.
I'm running still screaming with
my feet not touching ground, the
screams are only in my head
my fear; I'm tied, gagged, and bound
I feel like I'm in quicksand as he
squeezes tighter with his hand
forever tossing, turning, thrashing
myself around..
It is with a sigh of relief, I hear a
warm, friendly, familiar sound
"Baby wake up, it's only a dream"
embraced in love and comfort
I open my eyes and look around
I'm safe here in my happy place
that I have found, I remind myself
Yes! I'm Safe and sound.....
