Nightmare

The water ripples.
Swaying gently, sweetly, a serene melody.
Smiling softly, full of hope.
Joyfulness, love, and happiness.
I watch as they smile and laugh.
I watch as they dance and party.
Singing their sweet melody.
Apart from the festivities, I am.
Alone, silently, longing.
Longing to be with them in their joyous song.
Instead I sit here mourning.
The deaths of my happiness, love, and hope.
With my silent prayers.
Forlorn, melancholy, lost, am I.
The water slows,
The ripples vanish.
And my hope, joy, and happiness with it.
Alone I am.
Silently, singing my lost melody.
Wistful dreams forfeit.
Lost in despair, Hopeless, Solitary.
I can no longer live with the living.
I thrive in the darkness and despair.
Yet, somehow I can still feel.
Feelings of Hate, Anger, and Vengefulness.
Worldly problems no longer bother me.
Worldly possessions no longer rule me.
I care for nothing but revenge.
I thrive on hate and despair.
The water turns a murky red.
Dripping, Dripping,
with the burgundy shade of death.
Inky blackness engulfs my surroundings.
Drowning out the Joyous song of the happy.
I am everyone's worst enemy.
I am my own worst enemy.
Thriving on the suffrage of others.
I am a creature of the abyss.
I am a creature of the darkness.
Call me what you will. Fear me.
For I am to be feared.
I am what everyone does not see.
Only the hopeless and suicidal see me.
For to others I am only a dream,
A nightmare if you will.
Your Nightmare.
