Wanderlust Nightmare

Darling, I can see the wanderlust within your eyes
For the one place that you have only dreamed
About, but all the trees there turn dark and dreary.
Your laughter that rings out loud turns into cries
And being frightened. Your smile that once beamed
So bright like a shining flashlight becomes weary,
Tired and guarded. Everything is on high alert
As you never know about the creatures that lurk
Within the shadows. It is like you are being chased
By those monsters you cannot see. You try to advert
Danger, a hand over your chest, hoping your berserk
Heartbeat settles, but it is as loud as when you raced
To the finish line. You keep running, hoping you can
Outrun it all, but do not shoot the messenger and you
Cannot outrun what is in a nightmare. You are falling
But you cannot wake up because the shadows plan
To keep you there for eternity. Your once favorite blue
Sky will break open and the rain is going to keep calling.
