The Nightmare

Deep in the night, struggling to win this fight

My body needs sleep, but awake I must keep

In a nightmare, I will not fare

There is to much death, I must save my final breath

If I sleep, my fear will reap

I must not sleep, I am in to deep

.

But I feel my eyes slide shut, I prepare for the deepest cut

Instead darkness fills my head, and my soul leaves this warm bed

I enter a dark reality, full of pain and brutality

But I must open my eyes, before I feed myself lies

Finding myself in a little town, I know this is where I got my cap and gown

I want to die, I want to cry

This place is only pain, I left this place in vein

There is a reason I was sent back to this horrid place, my fears, i must finally face

.

I try to find an old friend, I want to see her in the end

I've known her since sixth grade, but our friendship will fade

I want to say hi, but instead I whisper a good-bye

I pray she finds that perfect guy, I will try to be her guide

.

I must visit an old high school pair, for them, I really do care

They were with me in the pain, with me in the rain

Finally finding them, I want to say hi, but instead I whisper a good-bye

I don't want them to see what I am, for if they do, I will be damned

.

My next task will kill me inside, please don't make me do it, I will abide

I can not stand to see her, she is with another

She left me for someone better, leaving me alone to weather

There is no blame for I am full of shame

She was perfect,I was life's defect

But if it must be, then I would love to see

Her true beauty, given to a better guy

.

I stare at her through the window's glass, I should have just passed

For now I am full of pain, and it has become to rain

I begin to cry, I really just want to die

She is so happy without me, but I guess it was meant to be

I can not stay, her entire life is at bay

As I begin to walk away, I hear a calling so far away

I must not turn, or I will forever burn

Now that I know what I must od, so that, this day I will not rue

I withdraw a gun, she begins to run

I whisper a good-bye, she begins to cry

The gun explodes, my body erodes

.

But I am not truly dead, for I awake in this bed

I realize I am shaking, what is this fear making

I realize it was just a nightmare, somehow I managed to fare

The dream is gone until tommorow's dawn

When I shake again
