shadows come creeping in
almost like the whispering wind
almost unseen ,
a faint brush against my skin
but he is there ,i know its him
the demons of memories flood my thoughts
awakening sleeping haunts
they lash out cutting and clawing my heart
uninvited ,unwelcomed visitors there in the dark
the past ,is no longer dead as i thought
so much alive ,now im trapped ,
will i survive this mental assault?
screaming ,pleading ,begging,
crying ,fighting ,giving up slowing dieing
tossed into the world of endless pain ,
withering away,drowning inside my
hopeless shallow shame ,
praying for forgiveness ,praying for escape ,
the i awake .....it was only a nightmare
i whisper as i rise from the bed
and see the sun light glowing on the wall ,
then i say it was a bad dream thats all
then the shadow climbs slowly from the floor ,
i scream nooooooo i cant
no more!
