The Colour Of A Nightmare

The color of a nightmare is black

Bold and insane

Flooding your brain

Throbbing and pulsing

Filling you with pain

And then blank,

You're awake


The color of a nightmare is red

Surrounding and devouring

Eating and swallowing

Taking and dripping

Tugging and ripping

Leaving you scattered

And then shock

You're awake

The color of a nightmare is blue

Sadness and fear

Everyone's unaware

Of you being there

But you're there

And no one cares

And then a rush

You can't breathe

You're awake

The color of a nightmare is white

So bright

Endless light

No pain

No glory

No strife

Oh life

And then

You're awake
