Nightmare

I see you in my nightmares

in morning light, I gasp for air 

but you're not near

it's just a bad dream's fear

lingering in my mind

cause I can't find what you want

So why do you haunt me

in daydreams, I run free.

in fields of tall grass 

taking in the green mass 

with eyes of wonder

and feet that wonder 

but this picture-perfect glance is gone 

you took it as the devil's spawn 

cause you are the monster waiting under my bed

on the prowl to get into my head 

when the lights go out.
