Nightmare

When you called me . . . . .

When you called me . . . .

When you called me . . . .

When you



I'm awake now distant
hardly in reality
it's black
there's wind
it's night
there's sin

awaiting at my door

and it started when you called me


nightmare creep no further
already lost within your realm of fire

It's impossible to escape

When you called me I awoke to the demon inside
when you sang to me I fell deep into your heart
when you scream my name I obey

nightmare

cold sweat of your images I fall
dark recesses of an enslaved mind
leave no mercy to my soul
my crying soul crying
dying
to wake from sleep

nightmare

When you called me I fought
said no
plead stay away you demon sound
But you will never cease to haunt me
ghost
of
my own guilt
my hate
my mistakes

nightmare

Author notes

Lately I've been having these images from my past come haunt me, and I'm scared. My boyfriend loves me and love him very much - so much it hurts. I see things mistakes from a past relationship that I wish I could forget and I felt like I might break from the weight of it. The prompt When you called me caught my attention as that nightmare keeps hauntingly sings to me despite how I fight it.

  • Great stuff!!!

    So much expressed so eloquently in so few words...
    It has drama, regret & the feeling of haunted...
    We should never forget the past lest how could we learn for the future...
    A great write that enthralled throughout...
    Keep up the good work...
    Well done!!!

    From my experience, no matter what you do you cant get rid of the past, but you can try to forget about it, my advice to you is dont think about the past so much, think about the future and when you do think positive, other wise the past will haunt you forever.
