Nightmares



Nightmares

The night approaches, darkness looming
My sun and diamonds fade
The nightmares await, desperate to descend
A heavy blanket weighs on my heart

In weakness, I submit
and allow my eyes to close
My fear and anguish appear from a mist
I've nowhere to run, no voice to scream

I accept my fate, a choice is made
Down this path I walk, fearful footfalls
A cloaked visitor meets me on my way
My name is known, blood rushing, no disguise

I'm still alone, I cannot hide
There's too much to lose, time is short
A few last breaths, my air gone
I fall deeper into darkness, a black pool

My hands grasps for a rock, my anchor
My strength in desolation
A constant in the swirling waves of night
The heat of suffocation chokes me

And then... at last, a cool breeze
a refreshing breath of air
My lungs fill, my head is clear
I see you in the light... an angel alone

My marble prince, my one desire
has saved me from this hell
He is my air, the breath I take
My sweet and steady sun

As dawn approaches, stars fade to gray
I awaken from my terrors
Gazing down at me, your amber eyes
The golden doorway to our souls - We dance

It's strange, I don't set out to write really depressing stuff, it just happens to come out that way a lot of the time.
