My Nightmares

I know when I lay my head down 

That I will hear that frightening sound

I beg for my dreams not to come when I sleep

For I know when I awake I will want to weep

I hear those footsteps walking in my mind

I know when I follow who I will find

I put off sleep until I can no longer hold my eyes open

Wishful hopes lay in my mind and I know I have awoken

Sweat and regrets roll down my face

I arise and quickly start to pace

Another night of tossing and turning

Another night of memories burning

Solid images of a form that taunts me

Reminding me of all that I wish I couldn't see

You got this a head filled up with smoke

Your feeding me lines that make me choke

Night after night I hope its something new

Night after night it is just you
