nightmares


I felt a snap in my neck as I tried to turn

I felt the flames grow higher, I started to burn

All I wanted to do was look around

All I wanted to see

I want to see you burning too

 

As our bodies break down and turn to ashes

I feel the light and I see the darkness

Spreading from your heart

To cover your soul

And you were the one who said it was all my fault

 

I see you rise up, changing like smoke

I see the wings grow, time moves slow

I try to run but I'm still tied to the shell

Close to death, close to non existence

 

I scream out loud for my body to die

To release the chains

So I can fly away from here,

Away from her

I feel your grip around my neck

Burning my soul it feels like talons on flesh

 

You turn me around and open your mouth

Laughing at my fear you pull me close

Your jaws snap shut

 

I wake up, bathed in sweat

It was all a dream

I laugh at myself to disguise the scream

As I open the window to get some air

I hear a sound someone else is here

Light explodes before my eyes

I fall to the ground...

 

I open my eyes and smell the smoke

I hear you speaking of how it’s my fault

I feel a snap in my neck as I try to turn

I feel the flames grow higher I start to burn

The scream releases this time as I open my eyes

Awake again I pinch my skin

Is this real am I alive,

Is this the real world or am I still inside

That nightmare that's been going on all night?

This was very... vivid. Sometimes the nightmare seems so real... you wake up and you're out of breath. I loved this very much.

I love this, The feeling of a nightmare can be hidious,
especially when you cant wake up or it's reoccuring.
Then again Life can feel that way too. Habbits and
heartache that can't be broken Re ocuring situations.
Dreams. It all gets the best of you.
