A poem about night terrors. |
As the moon rises in the sky And the stars begin to shine A person lies in bed awake With night terrors on their mind The room is dark and silent But inside their head it's not For shadows dance and demons lurk And fear is all they've got Their heart beats fast and hard As they try to close their eyes But the images that haunt them Are too vivid to disguise They see a ghostly figure In the corner of their room And hear a voice that whispers Of impending doom The walls start to close in And the floor begins to shake As a sense of dread and terror Overwhelms their every wake They try to cry out for help But their voice is just a croak As they feel the hands of darkness Around their throat The night terrors take control And the person cannot escape As they're lost in a world of horror And their mind begins to break But as the sun begins to rise And the night terrors fade away The person is left exhausted From the horror of the night's play They try to shake off the feeling As they start their day anew But the memory of the night terrors Is something they cannot undo For they know that when the moon rises And the stars begin to shine The night terrors will return And they'll be trapped once again in their mind. |
