Evolved Night Terrors
My nightmares evolving from monsters to scary scenarios of you and her Last night I woke up petrified with a pounding in my heart Not for fear's sake but for the realization that it really is as it is That my day is spent reliving my night's terrors. In my dream you hold her right before my very sight My eyes fill up with pain, yours with pleasure at my distinct discomfort You write me off boldly and you both laugh at the wetness on my face There you don't dare to feel sorry for the terrifying ...
