Did you ever dream.

Did you ever dream of infinite nothing,
of a black and empty void.
Did you ever wake up shaking,
cold sweat beading,
on your rose flushed skin.
Afraid to open your eyes,
Too scared to let reality in.

Did you ever dream you were awake,
that all your fears were truth,
Did you ever see the demons,
empty eyed
and full of mortal sin,
sitting at your bedside
Did you know, you'd let them in ?

Did you ever dream that you had died,
and  never more would wake.
Did you ever see the inside,
of your casket
with its silk and satin lining
and feel the claustrophobia,
as they gently screwed you in.

Did you ever wake with the morning sun
and think, "today's the day".
Did you ever open up your heart
and let it lead,
Just trusting fate to win
and give to you a locking box,
to put your nightmare's in.

I dream all the time, but not like this. I like the idea of having a locking box, though...

Yes to all of the thoughts you pondered in this one! Matter fact, I had an ugly nightmare last night *sigh*
