Nighttime Terrors

The snow is falling,
Muffling my dreams.
The darkness engulfs me
Silencing my screams.

The evil of my slumber
Leaves with the coming of dawn
But all to soon for my liking
The sunlit hours are gone....

I lay awake in fear,
Begging for the end of night.
Because I know it will soon leave me
With more than just a fright!

This nightmarish thing will begin
Controlling my reality...
I wish it wouls disappear,
Just forever leave me be!

Soon it will follow me--
Into my light-filled days!
And if I cannot stop it?
It will set my joy ablaze.

It doesn't make a difference
To me ir you care or
Not, because this is the tale
Of my nighttime terror.
