Nightmares

by lala167

Nightmares Demise and despair Is what I’m drowning in A bottomless pit beyond the depths of solitude Its essence I confide in Outside my comfort lurks malice Erasing sweet dreams with brutal nightmares In a cold sweat I awake Their voices still in my mind They feel so near I just close my eyes Completely consumed by darkness To the light I am blind
