Nightmare

Night Creeper you haunt my dreams

Your midnight eyes look through me

You come to me with blackened sky

Your death has left me wanting

Let me be

You frighten so

I try so hard to let you go

But still you peak

You listen not

With ragged bones I hear you walk

Night Creeper I beg you still

With parting lips I speak
My mouth is dry
My tongue is numb
I hear no words I seek

The darkness fades with morning light
With weary heart I wake
Still you wait with patient hands
Til daylight turns to night
