sleep paralysis

alone
a feeling created to break at me
to watch my dreams crumble at my feet
to say goodbye to what comforts me
knowing damn well it will eat at me

my soul for those who bare it
nothing is worse than caring
for someone who cannot see
the pain they are causing me

sweet dream eating at my head
hearing voices from the dead
wanting so desperately to let go
whatever I fear will only grow

but I'll simply say goodnight
enter a world where I am paralyzed
seeing things coming from the walls
while I dream I can crawl
hoping this feeling will finally end
so that way I can move again
so that I can finally breathe
and open my eyes and
whisper "sweet dreams"
