Nightmares

By TheReap

Dreams are so sweet
When the nightmare's complete

I hear your whispers in the night

Peace is at sleep
And the secrets you keep

Come out like the tears from your eyes

Hate is like love
There is always enough

But it always seems out of sight

Love is like hate
Only time and to wait

Can heal all your desperate cries

Day after day
While the night slips away
Nightmares always seem to come true
