Inevitable Nightmares

I hate falling asleep.

It’s as if there’s a demonic creep

Lurking near me

When my unconsciousness falls deep.

My nightmares are a constant upkeep.

Mostly I wake up terrified,

But sometimes I weep.

Salted tear stains tint my eyes.

The unconsciousness is a world of vivid lies.

When I’m lucky,

I dream about guys.

But the majority of the time,

Someone dies.

Most of my dreams,

I face my demise.

If I die,

It’s more like a prize.

Because if it’s someone I love

That dies,

I wake up in cries.

Sometimes I think my fate is

Death by tsunami waves.

Mainly because I always dream about them,

And I never get saved.

I always see the trave

Arising.

It’s as though it’s destiny,

To reach my grave.
