Dedicated to @magushapu

Eyes shut in dreamland,

Rolling tears at gunpoint.

Splattered blood,

Loved ones in duress,

Calamitous storms and sadness.

Knife cuts adorn skin,

White strips around blotched red,

Waking with strangle marks,

On a restless bed.

Drowning without air,

Heaving breaths and sweat;

Soundless screams and pained moans

Cruel laughs: so unfair.

Sleepless and scared,

Afraid of nightmares

Glints of knifes

And refuge in darkness.

I am haunted:

Sunken eyed and sightless,

warm arms cocooning me,

Which battle the hideous demons,

I encounter in my hellish dormancy.
