Dreaming Hell
They call sleep a portal.
A way away from pain.
But in that slumber I can feel.
That's my existence bane.
Laying all alone at night.
Trying not to think.
And yet my head nods, eyelids drop.
Away from reality I sink.
Into my own place.
My own stronghold.
Of names long unremembered.
Secrets still untold.
And then I see him,
and it pains my heart.
I remember him bleeding.
We're life and death apart.
I reach but hands slip.
I can't reach at all.
I scream, I cry, falling apart.
To the ground I fall.
I awake to the sound.
My own terrified screams.
The room is so dark.
Nothing as it seems.
I turn on my light.
Waiting for the sun.
For sleeping this night.
Is over and done.
Some people get away.
But I remember too well.
Dreams mean no sleep.
I've my own private hell.
