Array ( [sid] => 60658 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Nightmare [time] => 2004-08-19 02:46:40 [hometext] => this is about a nightmare that i've had. it might be hard to follow but i want to know if it's good [bodytext] => A tourtured, broken heart
A mauled and broken soul
My presence and my sanity
Is what everyone stole
With everything I've seen
And everything I've done
I know that my battles
Are much less than won
I fall to the ground
Wondering if I should rise
Or let myself lie here
To wait for me to die
A single, silent tear
Comes running down my face
I can't move though I want to
I feel so out of place
So as I lay here and wonder
What is happening
A light begins to flood the room
And someone begins to sing
So I start to quietly
Say an almost silent prayer
I start to feel uneasy
I know that you're there
I begin to scream at you
For you to go away
And as I lay there screaming motionless
I continue to pray
I see you getting closer
Slipping silently across the floor
I watch you move right past me
And slide right out the door
I stay still and silent
Cold, alone and scared
I open my eyes to find that I
Have awoken from my nightmare. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 183 [topic] => 68 [informant] => jesika [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => fictional )
The Nightmare

Very, very nice...simple words but very easy to relate to. I like the twist at the ending too - most poems relating to nightmares that I've read stay within the nightmare and don't go beyond that to the waking up part. I enjoyed this unique take a lot, keep on writing!
