Night Scare

As I lay my weary head
My heart fills up with sudden dread
For every night without fail
My evil thoughts bring slumber's hell
Falling fast into the black
Screaming so loud my voice a crack
Grasping, clawing at the air
My hand to another almost there
Somehow I know this saving grace
Is here for me, it is his place
Together we are meant to be
Me and him, him and me
Closer, closer I draw near
Inches away, so vivid, so clear
So close! The ending of my pain!
Then the image begins to wane
As it fades, I break down
In my own tears, I begin to drown
Choking sobs escape alone
I awake cold as stone
The sun is up, yet I cannot see
I'm not with him, he's not with me
