The Nightmare

I see you,

Haunting me in my dreams.

Making me feel uneasy by walking down the hall,

I just want to wake up is all.

Tell myself this is a dream 

But what can I do when it's all real,

The mystery in your eyes ever so surreal.

I try to stop her from getting to me 

And run out in the backyard,

But I see her follow me from the corner of my eye. 

She pulls me back with a sudden jerk 

The collar of my shirt feeling like a noose around my neck.

I try to grab something

Nothing but air lingers and slips through my fingers.

I fall to the ground with a jolt 

And I look over my  shoulder to see not a soul.

I dust off the grass from my clothes 

And start towards my house 

I see you 

Haunting me in my dreams 

I see your feet dangling from my tree 

I've forgotten really,

The difference between dreams and reality 

My nightmare begins all over again.
