Ode to a Nightmare

You comfort me when I’m alone,
In your sharp clutches I find truth.
Within the darkness I hear screams,
They beckon me to come close.
I feel the icy terror set in,
Your haunting eyes catch my soul;
The pain I feel is unbearable.
There is no peace to be found,
I can’t hear a sound.
There is a scream in the dark,
That emanates from my heart.
In the dark I hear a memory,
It flutters away before I could say stay.
I wake up to white with the fear,
It doesn’t end here.
