My Nightmare
When I daydream, I see it watching me
I’m safe when I’m awake, it can’t get to me
I fear night, cause the nightmare persists
The sandman shows me, the evil that exists
In the distance I hear, the heavy footsteps
Louder and louder with, every single rep
Slowly the sound moves, closer to me
My heart pumps harder, crying out a plea
The door slowly opens, with long a creak
The shadows in the room, are trying to speak
Each step runs through me, as it draws near
I must keep my wits, and control the fear
It stops at my bed, standing right over me
I dare not peek, fearing the evil I may see
I hear it’s heavy breathing, and smell its putrid sent
This creature embodies evil, fear and torment
If I don’t tremble or move in any way
This thing may lose interest, and just go away
In my ear it speaks a language, I don’t understand
Is it a warning, from the world of the dammed?
It slowly goes away, leaving me shaken and relieved
Weathering another night, one more reprieve
The morning light comes and this nightmare is at end
Until the night comes and It echoes once again
