It is just passed sunset
All the lights have been
Turned down low; she
Hears the distant smack of rocks on water.
She closes her eye
Knowing all is well;
Nothing can hurt her
She is perfectly is perfectly safe...
It's half past midnight,
And she wakes with a start;
She reaches up to place a shaking hand
Over her heart...
All around her is black,
No other color apparent.
She lays back down, wishing
Her dream hand't happened...
"A dream, it was all a dream"
She tells herself over and over.
It was no ordinary dream;
But a nightmare that would
Begin soon...
