Nightmare
NIGHTMARE
You make me happy when the skies are gray
Were the last lines of your lullaby.
But this time everything felt so dreary,
Like a choking space with clumpy air - proof of my existence.
There I laid beside dark creepy creatures,
And huge treacherous beasts with shiny fangs.
My eyes hovered, scouting for an escape route,
How I got here, a mystery no one could explain.
I tried asking for aid but splutter gibberish,
I guess I drowned in some sort of oblivion.
And then the darkness kept getting gloomy,
With an intense furnace on one side of the meadow.
The smell of dread and danger I could perceive,
With the hush around the pasture getting even more creepy.
But as the creatures heralded the arrival of the executioner,
The rooster finally crowed to signify the morning.
I rose.
