I have nightmares.
The door is closed,
simply walk away.
Do not disturb us,
in our looming dismay.
All snuggled but forsaken,
laying awake in our bed.
Shaken and wondering,
what lies waiting, in my head.
Do not disturb me,
when he lulls me to sleep.
The comfort of him,
we fear, I cannot keep.
My eyes closing to darkness.
Sinking into vast abyss.
The night time, meant to be sweet,
has transformed into this.
Days filled with forgiveness.
Nights laden with pain.
My sanity waivers.
With every wax and wane.
Shadows persuade me to depart,
to drown in black water.
Demons poke and trick me.
and, for only a moment, I falter.
His voice echoes in my mind,
through visions of bloodshed.
He pulls me back slowly.
Back to our loving bed.
My skin cold and eyes wide,
as punishment for my sin.
Do not disturb us,
we are practicing for the end.
