In the Night
The room is still,
Fan on high
Despite winters chill
Ill sleep
If I can.
Theres nothing
I wouldnt do
For some rest,
And pleasant dreams too.
I seek in the darkness
What I cant find
In the light.
I look toward the future,
All through the night.
The past comes back
To haunt me.
I delve deeper,
To see what I can see.
Flash backs are dream backs.
They chase my every move.
I wake up to escape them.
Ive got nothing to prove.
In the night
I awaken,
My sheets soaking wet
From sweat.
There are daemons in the closet
And everythings a threat.
To find peace,
I calm myself inside.
I realize that dreams
Have taken me for a ride.
In the past I will not dwell,
It brings up nightmares,
A living hell.
In the dreamtime I have power,
To wake from the tortures
Of the darkest hour.
I lie awake
Let reality flood in,
Make no mistake,
This nightly battle,
