Nightmares
No suffering tonight
as I lay down and anticipate sleep
only old memory’s
surfacing at the worst times
never producing enough relief
they hold on for dear life
waking us up in the middle of the night
frigidly cold, yet smoldering as well
contagious unhappiness
unsettling images
My nightmares don’t stop when I wake up
But they manifest when I go to sleep
It’s not crazy to ask
if I am ever fully awake
Greed
My eyes are open and alert
my heart is beating and pumping blood
but my soul has no oxygen
I wonder if I am alive or dead
stuck in a constant spiral
never-ending realizations
plastered emotions
fake objectives
why is every person always wanting
what I can’t give them
what I can’t even get for myself
I’ll be your scape goat
if you’ll be mine
Blame me for your miserable life
I’ll blame the devil for mine
