short of breath
drenched with sweat
i wake from a nightmare
confused and alone
i cry out within pain
each gasp like a knife
the point cutting deep
i find no comfort in darkness
only tears and remorse
trembling from fear
visibly shaken to the core
i rock back and forward
waiting for something
still unsure
mumbling softly
a pray of forgiveness
shattered and broken
my fingers reach out
dazed and distorted
still half within sleepiness
betraying illusions
cast there shadows
of hate
numbness and memories
torment without mercy
each cutting and bruising
inflicting more hurt
