Night terror, Nightmare

Night terror, Nightmare

I sit upright after screaming

After crying

After I beat myself up thinking you were there


He tries to comfort me

I can't be touched

Panic attack at a touch

Guilt rushes me


Too broken

Too damaged

No one can help

You did too much

All of you


Love doesn't hurt like that

The lasting damage

The pain I feel in my ribs

Years later

The pain I inflict on myself

Years later


The fact I still can't have silence

If I hear a creak in the house

Panic

Yelling around me

Panic


Nightmare, night terror

Let me sleep tonight

Nightmare, night terror

Make it real tonight

Let them take me

Kill me

End it

I need to rest
