Stuck in the Dark
My sleep used to be peaceful.
I slept without dreams
And without bone chilling memories.
Now I wake up in tears
From the sound of my own screams.
My nights are tainted.
My world is being opened.
My inner peace destroyed.
I'm afraid to sleep
These nightmares are killing me.
I don't know what to do
I'm stuck in the dark
Afraid of the truths revealed.
The night terrors - constant
Sleep - a dIstant memory
I'd rather not sleep
Then see the horrors
Of a time once forgotten.
I slept without dreams
And without bone chilling memories.
Now I wake up in tears
From the sound of my own screams.
My nights are tainted.
My world is being opened.
My inner peace destroyed.
I'm afraid to sleep
These nightmares are killing me.
I don't know what to do
I'm stuck in the dark
Afraid of the truths revealed.
The night terrors - constant
Sleep - a dIstant memory
I'd rather not sleep
Then see the horrors
Of a time once forgotten.
