Nightmares
The world is red, is something wrong with my eyes?
I see fire all around me, growing hotter,
The flames so close cause pain to me, and I am taken by surprise,
To see hands floating about, laughter dancing upon water.
The world is blue, the trees seem to cry, is this even real?
I see my family, my friends, I run to them, thankful they came;
But the closer I get, the further they feel,
They all look at me with fixed eyes filled with shame.
The world turns grey, I feel chilled to the bone;
Every contour of every aspect of every person I tried to defend;
Is now carved in this stone;
Is this world coming to an end?
I don't want another innocent soul to hear my scream,
I thank God this was only just a dream.
