there was a girl who fed on nightmares,

every night she dreamed horrid things and woke up full.

alone in her room, yet she wasn't scared,

eating the scary bullshit by the spoonful.


one day, she slept with no interruptions, not a dream in sight

only to wake up hungry,

which gave her a fright,

one night, she made a discovery, that perhaps she did not feed on nightmares,

instead fed on acid

and was not full when she woke up,

just sinking in molasses

too scared to eat,

for her dreams were not gone when she opened her eyes,

they just found a place to meet

and sit idly by

they waited, and watched for the opportunity to come again,

drowned out by whatever she could use to occupy her head

but at night, her mind blanked out

and in her dreams, they broke out




there was a girl who fed on nightmares,

every night she dreamed horrid things and woke up full,

never satisfied, the cycle never ends

because a belly full of poison always craves- never full
