My Dark Dream

What evil is this that always wanders
Haunting me in my nightly slumbers

Something knowing lurks in my dreams
Waking me with heart breaking screams

Not one image will remain
of what causes this dreadful pain

No light to shed to see the face
No power to set in motion the chase

Laying motionless with paralyzing fear
Needing so desperately to feel you near

I reach for you in the bed behind
Your not there for me to find

Hands grasping at the emptiness
In this place you no longer exist

As this haze filled dream starts to unfold
Reality begins to slowly take it's hold

What horror and grief I now feel
Great rivers of tears I do now spill

Now it's all becoming much more clear
I now know what brings this evil here

From this nightmare I can never hide
To myself over and over I have lied

Forever I will wake in this bed all alone
My beautiful Shealynn is never coming home.
