Only In Nightmares

Now you’re with me,
Only in waking nightmares
Under dense dark nights.

Even in dreams of dread,
I hear your name only, as I search and seek
But they say you’re gone,
With someone else, already.

Perhaps that’s why, I couldn't do this anymore,
For you were never truly with me,
But with an another
Leaving me drained.

Now, my life’s a haunted daydream
Of the horrid kind,
Where I have been abandoned,
I’ve become dust, not even bone.

You’re not here anymore,
And perhaps never were,
And that’s why
Next to you, I became a ghost,
A mirage of myself,
And since you’re gone
I’m scared that I’ll go too.

There are too many people,
Whispering to me
Which I can’t hear,
For I am screaming for you
But all I hear is the howl of wind.

The clouds are puking thunder,
The sky darkens,
My heart is dust, slips through the fingers
All I can do is shout to life and death,
To tears and fright,
I’m not afraid! I’m not afraid!

I’m not afraid! If my life’s a nightmare, I won’t give it easy!

We’re a Bad Influence because we INCITE change through inclusion, thought and creativity. We imagine a world where people can think critically, express themselves, and thumb their nose at the status quo, together.
