Reckless Nights

Saturday night was
Downright ugly.
Downright scary,
And just plain torture.
Nightmares came,
Seeped into my brain,
And were put on repeat
From dusk til dawn.
These nightmares brought tears,
They took people away from me,
They let me suffer
In my own mind.
I couldn't wake up,
I was trapped,
But when I did come to reality,
I'd soon fall back asleep
After the water works
Wore me out again.
Each nightmare was worse than the last--
Yes, I had four--
But they were all the same
In some way.
Things I love disappeared,
People I love left me,
And in the end of each one,
I was all
Alone.
