Longing Wake

 

Body battered.
Mind mangled.
Soul shattered.
From life I seek solace in sleep.
 
What I find is far from solace.
I exit one realm of torture to enter another.
An ominous presence, I can feel it.
My demons have stalked me here.
 
As they howl I grow deaf.
I feel their claws tear into my flesh.
My body writhes in agony.
I look to the heavens, pleading with God to stop this pain.
 
I scream in agony
I cry for help as the pool of blood grows.
But no one can hear me, it is but a nightmare.
Alas, an exceuciating night leaves me longing wake.
