Darkness and Dreams

When at night you sleep and dream,
Are you frightened? Do you scream?
Does your mind play tricks and demons give chase?
Do you look in the mirror only to see another's face?
Are you driven into madness by evils untold?
Does your body rot and become infested with mold?

Before your eyes is your world torn into two;
Devastating and destroying all you knew.
Leaving you abandoned with nothing
No voice, no life, no soul - only endless suffering.

When you wake from a sound,
While unspeakable horrors before your eyes abound;
Do you scream in silence and quake with fear,
Because you know the end is near.
You close your eyes, giving into the darkness, and wait,
But suddenly you open your eyes & find yourself in bed sitting up straight.

The fear is present, but you are the only one in the room you find.
Were the wraiths and fears real? Or just fabrications of your mind?
But the early rays of dawn come through your windows and its warmth on your skin you feel.
And you know then that the answer will have to wait until what the next night might reveal.
