The demon in my dreams

Daniel

What are you that haunts my dreams
And why have you stayed so many years
Just a silhouette no words do you speak
But like a carrion you feed off my fears

An angel, a devil, or a demon of myth
From what darkness were you born
I was so young when I first felt your kiss
But now as familiar to me as the dawn

So afraid was I to close my eyes
Because I knew that you were waiting
The night would dance to my cries
But there was no one there to save me

But now my cries have become silent
My tears are now dried up old streams
But I still feel your rage and your violence
As you still wonder through my dreams
