Nighmare II

by Carri Fjell

You lie back down and close your eyes against all light that still remains.
He comes to you and raids your soul of all the joy and peace contained.
A shadow seems to gather by, along with cold, cruel dread and fear,
The Master of the Dreamworld shrieks, there is no way that you cannot hear.
His subjects floating through the mists that seem to travel with him leap.
And leave you moaning through your tears and pray out loud "My soul to keep".
The Lord of Dreams burns through your skin by the ghastly corpse-light of his eyes,
And as you try to plot escape he comeths near and makes you cry
Out for the safety that you know and yearn for that will set you free,
Full knowing to escape the Nightmare you must close your eyes and see,
And look inside your mind for strength to try and wake you from this night,
When suddenly your eyes fly open, and wake up in a flash of white.
You look outside and see the light that grows once more out of the dark.
You shiver underneath your covers, but the dream has left its mark.
For when the night appears again you know the Demon will return,
And once you fall asleep again, your soul will just but burn and burn.
