Dreaming

thinking of you, your touch,

your glance, a soft sweet dream,

bringing a smile to me,

an everlasting smile, full of promise,

of what could be.

Then the shadows appear,

dark ones who would rip it at the seam,

bringing out a hidden fear.

I awaken, wrapped in the twisted sheets,

trapped by the windings of my mind,

as my heart rapidly beats.

Eyes full of fear stare into the night,

blinking at shadows,

praying for light.
