Nightmares

By AniSky

A shiver in the night,
A scream of unending fright,
A nightmare, or is it a memory?
In my mind, it makes me see
my conscience is not light.

I've been down to the devil's lare,
I see the faces in a nightmare,
The people I've killed,
The blood that I've chilled.
Could I run away? But where?

My life has become nothing more,
Then a side of an evil war,
How did I change that much without knowing?
How could I forget that when I'm going,
I may end up dead on the floor?

How can I keep up fighting this fight?
With so many deaths, I can't sleep in the night?
Will I keep hurting, will I still kill?
When the war is over, will I do it still?
How can I make this whole charade right?

Tell me what you think!
