NIGHTMARE

a dream caught in the web of reality

Something in the air
Doesn't taste right
Creeps like a hollow
Sucks up the light

Sleep so precious bereft
I wake up at night
Half-formed scream at lips
Lungs scrunched tight
And something in in the air
Doesn't smell right!

I roam around half-dead
Screening my eyes
Escaping with all might
The masquerade of life

Because something in the air
Doesnt feel right!

I look at her in awe
Who once had my name
She tried to play once
The cursed game
Promised she was
Of the curse of sight
Blood once red now turn white
Yes! Nothing in the world
Now seem right!
