I awakened tonight
Lost and hopeless
My world crashing
Upon my bedroom door
My shattered windows
Frosted and gray
Unwilling
To let the light through
For I had lived
Through my nightmare
But then it came
Seeping into my reality
The scars
Which had begun to heal
Reopen
And my blood
Spills once more
I close my eyes
In hopes to dream
Away from here
Away from the stark reality
Yet my eyes cannot close
Shut my heart
From feeling more
My smile cannot hide
The truth forever
For it crawls beneath
The locked doorway
Penetrates the life I live
Adjourning me
From normality
So I’ll hide
Here in my darkness
Staring and praying
Prayers that have no faith
For I am lost
In my nightmare
With no hopes
Of returning
The world
Is forever deceiving
My mind and my heart
And I will sleep
Until the window
Lets in my light
So I may dream
And live again
