"Only a Dream"
By Trigger
Dreams live
Behind the eyelids
Of a sleeping child
Fantasy in full colour
SPeaking whatever truth
The dreaming child wishes to know.
Nightmares live
Behind the eyelids
Of a troubled child
Clouds in the mind
Leave the eyes to
The unseen
Pain makes touch
Vulnerable
While sound is lost
To screams
The smell is of fear
While hopes fall like bad memories
Onto the child's heart
Straining it,
Weighing it to the floor,
Next to the broken spirit
The child is rescued from this nightmare
Only by the rage of his father,
The shattering of glass,
And the slam of a door
Awake, and alone, this child wishes to sleep again.
It knows that the nightmare is,
At least
Only a dream

This is sad... No child should ever prefer nightmares to reality. Thanks for sharing.
