Feed my dreams of nightmares and shadows,
Obscenities twisted by a mind of sin.
A parasite feeding on trial and retribution,
Taking and destroying your mind from within.

It waits and beckons when in slumber you lay,
A temporary coma of Death's favorite daughter.
Unable to resist the sweet sleep of sadism,
Willing falling like a lamb to the slaughter.

Flashing images turn common visions
To masochistic horrors of subconscious mind.
Childhood fears resurrected with malice,
You have no where to run but are easy to find.

Taunted by demons you long to forget,
Insignificant pictures distorted to memories.
Nightmares returned from connotations of fear,
Disturbingly telling your long lost story.

The rocking horse's severed head…
Floating in a bath of blood.
Stare into its hollow eyes…
See the demon you keep locked inside.
