night terrors

its like when the night comes

and darkness comes washing upon my face

i start to choke up

and i can no longer breath

and while the sun goes down, so does my hope

stealing away into the horizon

im desperate afraid

and i fear something more will go wrong

that in the dark i may fall farther and deeper

i cant see a thing and i bump and bruise my knees

i feel blood running coldy down my ankles

i fear that i will never reach the light

never make it to morning

and if i shut my eyes i will dream of untold horrors

where i can no longer move

and i wake exhausted

trying to fight evil spirits that keep trying to steal my soul in this dreadful night

i wake to darkness.
