She knows the words…
But not their meaning…
Hears them whilst sleeping…
Amidst all the screaming…
That soundtracks the night…
When she closes her eyes…
Slipping into the nightmare…
That makes her cry…
The one where she’s lost…
And so very alone…
In the middle of nowhere…
Running far from her home…
And the ones she loves…
Those she holds dear…
They cannot find her…
And they’ll never hear…
Her desperate shouts…
Echoing through the night…
No one can save her…
She is alone in this fight…
Against her dark demons…
Who cause her distress…
And haunt her nights…
Whilst clawing at her dress…
In the midst of blackness…
Rendering her sight blind…
As she runs in circles…
So desperate to find…
Some hope of escape…
A tiny chink of light…
That would finally bring…
An end to this fight…
But the words keep coming…
So softly spoken…
And the beast with wings…
Has now awoken…
She hides out of sight…
And silently screams…
But she’ll never be free…
Within this poisonous dream…
