Nightmares

Silent screams
Caught in her throat
As she awakens from her nightmare
This one was the same as the last
These nightmares always torture her
The ones where she holds the blade in her hand
Moves it slowly toward her wrist
as the blade starts to cut
she clenches her fist
the blood is seeping through her blanket
leaving a stain

she looks at her wrist
As the blood starts to drain
She feels faint
As shes drifting away
Then she tells herself
Every things going to be OK

But she knows its not
Reassurance is what she needs
Someone to tell her
Everything is right
As she fell onto the pillows
Wet from tears

She thinks of the pain shes endured
All through the years
And as her eyelids get heavy
she begins to slip
Thats when she wakes
In a cold sweat and with the shakes
And cries herself back to sleep again
Awaiting the next nightmare
