Running From A Nightmare

Black and wet

Is the rain outside

He’s trying to run

No time to hide

Keep close

Don’t ever let go

When it’s safe

I’ll tell you so

The voices scream

But he can’t hear

Almost there

No need to fear

Keep up now

Don’t fall behind

It’s all real

Not in your mind

They’ll hunt you down

And rid you quick

Nothing will be left

Not even a wick

A shot rings out

Bed sheets tear at the seams

He lands with a thump

It was all just a dream
