Nightmares

By OptimisticPessimist

Nightmares haunt me. Without you beside me to say
"It's okay...It's only a nightmare.",


Without you,
This Hell is
Real.


If dreams are memories from a past life,
What
Are nightmares?


Wake me up,
Bring me to life.
To you.


These overactive
Hellish
Images zooming through my cerebral cortex,




Scare the living shit out of me.



Wake me up,
Call my name,
Before I unravel whats left
Inside.


                                                                Save me.

From myself.



My brain.



Frozen in an imaginative
Inferno,

Wake me up from

These


Nightmares.
