Sweet Nightmares ( Feb. 25, 2014 ) 3rd Rhyming Poem

Do you remember those nights you made me scream
The nights you killed a child’s dream

The days you had me fake a smile so wide
Then slowly tortured the soul inside

Or how about the evenings you made me dread
Just a slit of the wrist or a bullet in the head

For that’s all it would take , just one quick sec
Then I’d be gone, along with the rest

The pain , the hurt, the scars, all of it erased
No longer the horror of what I once had to face

And now here I am in the utter darkness of death
Gasping for air, yet seizing of breath

So with one last line to wish you good bye

Sweet dreams my fair beauty, may you sleep through the night.
