Nightmares

Breath comes in short pants

Nightmares of years past

Once alone,

but now at last

People help the nightmares pass

Their evil words

Their harmful slaps

Now just visions of the past

Shuffling Feet

She's not alone

Comfort

Understanding Tones

They're tying to help

She knows it's true,

but they don't know what she's been through

Piercing Screams

Resounding Cracks

All bad memories come back

Silence rings throughout the house

As yells evanesce to cries for help

Eventually the sun will rise

And evidence of Nightmares die
