Hey it's been awhile since I last posted. Things have been pretty crazy so this might be the last for another long time. Not sure when I'll have time to post again.

My Box of Nightmares:

The bed bugs bite me as I sleep,
And the nightmares take over my dream,
There's nowhere to run as the box opens,
And no-one to hear me scream.

Trapped in the corners of my mind,
With nowhere safe to run,
I turn up at school wearing no clothes,
I think everyone's dreamed that one.

Then the nightmares turn more sinister,
As I shift around in my sleep,
My legs get tangled in the covers,
And while I dream I weep.

There he stands before me,
With a sadistic grin on his face,
I scream, cry and whimper,
As he puts me in my place.

Then he's joined by him,
And my fear is increased,
No matter how much I beg,
I am not released.

The nightmares continue on,
Growing darker all the while,
And for a night I am a victim,
Of deeds so cruel and vile.

Then in the morning when I wake,
I slam shut the box's lid,
I take out the lock and key,
And lock-up the things they did.

Though sometime soon I know,
When I lay down to dream,
That box will fly back open,
And in my mind I'll cry and scream.
