Nightmare
The clock strikes midnight in my home,
I lie in bed I'm all alone.
The light cast shadows on the wall,
I hear a noise from down the hall.
I tremble with fear hoping to wake,
my heart beats hard and my chest does ache.
Once I realize I'm not asleep,
I prayed to God my life to keep.
I see an image getting close,
what I see worries me most.
I see his face of bone so white,
I scream in vein silenced by fright.
His bony fingers point at me,
how I wish that I could flee.
I wake from my dream wrenched with sweat,
the image so real I wish to forget.
It had been just a dream,
so real and not serene.
But oh no what do I hear,
it wasn't a dream death is here.
I lie in bed I'm all alone.
The light cast shadows on the wall,
I hear a noise from down the hall.
I tremble with fear hoping to wake,
my heart beats hard and my chest does ache.
Once I realize I'm not asleep,
I prayed to God my life to keep.
I see an image getting close,
what I see worries me most.
I see his face of bone so white,
I scream in vein silenced by fright.
His bony fingers point at me,
how I wish that I could flee.
I wake from my dream wrenched with sweat,
the image so real I wish to forget.
It had been just a dream,
so real and not serene.
But oh no what do I hear,
it wasn't a dream death is here.
