Dream A Nightmare For Me

Dream

of sleep

and wonder,

of cold rain

and thunder.

Dream

of something

exhilarating

and painful.

Dream of life by the handful.

Dream

of a smile

that never touches the eyes.

Dream

of life and death

(which seem the same in their entirety).

Dream

sweet dreams,

then let the nightmare take you.

Dream of false hope,

then let reality shake you.

Dream something good for me,

before the horror begins.

Dream upon a world

where hurt doesn't exist

all before the dream ends.

Bathe in the madman sand

from the man where dreams live.

 

Where there is life

there is tragedy.

In the midst of dreams

forever will be calamity.
