Nightmares

A Child in the darkness

Asleep, but restless, he screams

Unseen creatures haunt him

In his mind twisting his dreams.

He calls for his mother

Crying out in his sleep

Comforting words softly spoken

\"Now child please don\'t weep!\"

She holds his hand tightly

And kisses his little head

She sits with him all night

In a chair by his bed.

 

Now he looks back

And thinks that all his dreams are gone

But now mother\'s left the bedroom

And the young man\'s alone.

 

He writes about his childhood

He writes about his dreams

The creatures have gone

Or that\'s how it seems.

But all his success and fame

That hasn\'t altered a thing

Asleep, alone in his bedroom....

I can hear him cry and scream!
