Nightmarish Dreams

I lie awake late at night
Curled up lifelessly in my bed
Unknown to others is my mind
The thoughts running through my head
I fight to restrain them
These memories uncontained then
And you enter my life once more
The way you embraced me like before
That was then...this is now
As Poe had vowed, "Nevermore."

Feverish imagination into nightmarish dreams
I sulk down the empty halls unseen
Stealthily evading capture, hunt
From your gaze I can't outrun
I stalk down in the shadows
Prey, lost like a child
Quietly breathing, quietly living
Another minute 'til tomorrow

The scene so familiar, forgotten
Like the glow of a dying ember
Memories like an extinguished flame
And I snap back into reality again

Tick Tock Tick Tock

The clock hums its ominous sound
I pray to God that I'm not found
Your voice once so sweet to me
Now frightens whole-heartedly
It calls out "Hae, where are you?"
The only answer is my heart beating

Thud Thud Thud

I bite my tongue and go on through
"Tell me you love me...dear!"
I mutter, "Only when we were near."
I must admit, I did before
But as Poe regretted, "Nevermore."

Your footsteps fade away
To think I'm saved for another day
A breath of relief escapes me
Another day, another day more
But an icy hand grips my shoulder
"Hae, we can be together
Together forever, it's what you believed."
Belief without a sense of reality.
You plunged a dagger into my heart
Thinking now death do us part

I wake up screaming...
Cold sweats in fear
Wake up screaming
With dreams so clear
The invisible pain at my chest
Faded as she comes in
To pick me back up and says
Just another dream.
