Nightmare

You tried to come back into my life-like a bad dream.

Your like the shadows in my room at night, only you don’t scary me anymore.

I know you are just the shadow of a t-shirt hanging in my closet.

But, as a child you were a monster reaching out to get me in my sleep.

Like a nightmare you haunt me now and then as if you can’t seem to move on in life.

For something’s are better left in the past.

Time moves on and on and the safe feeling that you are gone is always around.

But, some where there is doubt in the back of my mind.

Knowing you are just waiting around the corner.

Just to say hello, not seeming to get the hint.

All I have to say is goodbye and awake up this is just a nightmare.

I’m not really here wanting to see you.

You shock me to my core and the fear of what woke me up.

Feels so real that I can’t shake the feeling that it’s still close by.

Watching and waiting for me to relax and fall back to sleep before it strikes again.

It haunts me at night and sometimes when I’m lucky I don’t have nightmares.

But, when I do have them it feels so real that the images play in my mind over and over again.

Sometimes they fade away and I don’t ever think them again.

Nightmares used to haunt me with monsters and aliens.

Now they haunt me with reality and I can’t tell you what’s more frighten.
