Tormented by her memories,
Manipulated by her mind.

She woke up screaming-
Searching for a comforting hand,
But there was none.

She woke up screaming-
A nightmare still lingers,
No release from her demons.

She woke up screaming-
Tormented by her mind,
...And there was the hand.

The Hand

Topic: oops

She woke up screaming-
Tormented by her memories,
Manipulated by her mind.

She woke up screaming-
Searching for a comforting hand,
But there was none.

She woke up screaming-
A nightmare still lingers,
No release from her demons.

She woke up screaming-
Tormented by her mind,
...And there was the hand.

This is a right on one of those nights where I toss and turn with nightmares. I always do it for no reason. My mom and I were always mentally connected. So when I lived with her, I would find her watching over me. It was a comfort.

Interesting analogy......

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
