Nightmare

Nightmares keep playing in my head,
telling me im to good for sleep,
eyes drifting from wall to empty wall,
color melts away like the wax of a burning candle.
thoughts ponder upon the motionless scenes.
taking one step at a time,
reaching for that final point,
the ending to the fear that boils inside,
the monster that you kept so hidden,
the one that consumed you,
the one you feared for so long,
you didnt know it was going to be you,
whom you feared,
let me lay in this frozen time,
plan my escape.
let me get away from myself.
