As I close my eyes The nightmare begins I cannot hide the lies I'm forced to confess my sins Suddenly, the darkness is alive I know he's coming to get me On my fears he thrives Free of his wrath I wish to be They take me to the master Yes, the mighty devil himself He joins in the demons laughter Wishing I could cry for help My soul is no longer mine It's something Satan stole To give it up my only crime My hearts as black as coal His eyes blacker than the darkest night A gaze sends shivers down the spine A snap of his fingers, and takes my sight Aware of my fears, renders me blind Smooth, whispery voice fills the air He conjures up my past Memories buried I shudder to share A familiar ache grows in the heart I relive all the hurt and pain Shame and pain wash over me Long carried guilt making me insane I am my own worst enemy My sight is now mine again Satan's grin spreads into a smile A broken spirit that refuses to mend I'm a feeble emotional pile I awaken with a scream Lying in my own bed It was just a bad dream.... I still wish I was dead
just a bad dream when it ends begins light one glow slow but sure

I wrote this about 10yrs ago when I was in a very bad place emotionally. When you're down and out it's hard to think things will get better but theres always a light at the end of the tunnel.
