Nightmare

The darkness contains an evil so surreal you wouldn't believe,
I scream slices through the air like a knife in my skin.
Fear consumes me as the cold sets in.
My legs won't move fast enough,
Running, to or from something I don't really know.
Jumping, weaving, barely breathing.
Searching for something in the darkness of those woods,
My foot catches on something hard and slick.
I smack my head on something that feels like a brick.
When I came to,
I saw you.
Laying there cold and shaking,
And I knew you weren't faking.
What I didn't know,
Was something you didn't show.
There I was standing there,
It just isn't fucking fair.
Never fall asleep,
You won't wake up.
In the shadows there was a man,
Most scream if they can.
The monster sinks it's teeth in,
I knew this is where it would end.
Here it goes,
Now all the blood shows.
The knife in my skin,
This isn't how it should've been.
The darkness caught up with me,
Will this set me free?
I stabbed this steel in me,
This is how I decided it should be.
