Cowering under covers
Unable to breathe
Awakened by a fear
That refuses to leave
Invading my dreams
It’s always the same
In a deafening silence
I hear my own cries
Piercing the darkness
Again on this night
A sword to my heart
As memories ignite
A life taken
A lifetime in vain
There’s no escape
From yesterday
As the sun slowly rises
Taming shadows to fade
Tears fall
To wash away the pain
It’s gone for now
Veiled by day
Awaiting darkness
Where light doesn’t stray
