Demented Dream
by Sabrina Myst
~
I almost remember
Their arms
Holding me tight
Giving me hope
I remember too clearly
Their screams
As they gave in
To darkness's embrace
His shouts
Ringing through my ears and into my heart
Helping me up
Lending me the courage almost spent
Warming me
With tears hot as fire
Don't give up
Her voice
Echoing through my mind's empty chambers
Penetrating the mist
Reaching to curl around my heart
Freezing it
With its mindless terror
I'll be there
That laugh
Reaching to cut off my brain
Cruel
No warmth, no humor, no remorse
Just horror
And cold like Arctic ice
Give it up
Falling, falling, through the fog
All echoing through me
The pain
The terror
Buried inside me
Not mine, but theirs
Theirs forever
Captured in the moment
Chained, but reaching to engulf my soul
And yet
I must hold on
Remember the good times
Think of the happiness
Not of their pain
Remember the love
They gave me
Remember the life
They saved
Remember the joy
They felt
And most of all
Don't give up hope...
