Nightmares

Soft smoke rose from the side of my bed,

Along with a silent scream of horror at a scarred head.

It was bobbing to and fro,

But simply wouldn't just go.

I tried closing my eyes,

And pray for its demise,

But it wouldn't budge,

And I, too scared to give it even a slight nudge,

Curled in my cave,

released water saved,

From my terror-filled eyes,

Then was given a surprise.

The head had left without a goodbye,

And you were there, and with a sigh,

Came to lay beside that trembling girl,

And promised her a safe world.
