the nightmare

Its late at night
and dark outside
my eyes are tired
and i need some rest..

I climb in my bed
lie on my back
wait till i get drowsy
but the thought of the nightmare keeps coming back

it haunts me like a ghost
doesnt let me sleep

it aint that simple to get a nap now
and not get up without a scream

it terrifies, its horrific
i dread it, but still i need to face it
its been two days since i last slept
now dis is maddenin, don't know how do i get rid of it

take it away from me
take away this fear, this phobia
i just wanna sleep again peacefully
dont wanna suffer from insomnia


eventually at dawn i sleep
my mind tired and exhausted
each muscle seems to loosen
but my heartbeat has increased

as yet again in slumber the dark figure visits me
with a knife in hand, his eyes bloodshot
and yet again his target is me
but this time he doesnt succeed, no he does not!!

This time the chase has ended
and ended with an ending that will now let me not dread slumber
so i end up sleeping again and this time it doesnt take time to drift into unconsciousness,
it atleast doesnt take forever..
