Hollow Dreams

The night is still not as dark but the nightmares already started to come, why?

Reality is what my dreams appear to be.

But.

My reality is not a dream to be dreamt.

My dreams are daunting, frightful.

A horrific reality from the nightmares.

The night lurks and creeps.

The fog, awakened from its sleep.

You wonder why?

As it gets thicker and deep.

You stop, and your sleep is put to end.

Eyes are wide open.

Staring up to the sky.

The hollow that dwells

Yells, screams as you refrain from the thoughts you bring in.

It's normal, that's what you think.

You look down below on the ground filled with tears.

Dropping and dropping.

Down your cheeks.

You're really tired.

Should you just go and sleep?

Giving up is what you think.

Falling down, you lay down and sink.

Your eyes are shut.

And now you're at peace.

As you lay down and can finally sleep.

Please rest, your sleeping in deep.

From it, you can never awake.

But you still feel the hollow as it slinks and creeps.

The darkness has permanently consumed you, as a piece of its feast.

You brought back the mares I used to get as a child, where I would wake up screaming for my mum or I would see mickey mouse's head laughing at me from the bedroom wall. How I disliked him, he used to terrify me. I can remember being so anxious I could not go back to sleep afterwards and would be exhausted in the morning. Your lines took me back into that bedroom I shared and brought all that back. I so understood the emotions you wrote about.

Thank you for your review Chris, as children we used to have a lot of fears, even as adults the fears are still there, whether thier the same or different, the night terrors are still there.
I really appreciate your thoughts on this and thank yous for sharing your personal experience.

I totally get this, sleep is supposed to be a safe place, but when the nightmares and reality terrors invade, it becomes unwelcoming, the darkness consumes us, just a little, every night,
