Midnight Memories
Drifting away in my slumber
Only to wake up with painful memories of us
How did we end up becoming this memory?
I can't even remember why we chose this path
But your memories always come back to hunt me
They have become my nightmares
And I can't even reach out to you
You are my midnight memory
That which I want to drift away in deep sleep to forget

Nightmares
There is a reason why two nightmares don't fall in love with each other.

The unending staircase as I've always called it..
Growing I realised are too many stairs to climb for a misfit..
I can't i gasp between hissing breaths and knees too frail..
When will this end? This dark and winding trail..
The days just won't end, and no one ever cares..
Why will they?they aren't the one with nightmares..
Everyone hopes for a palace at the end of this stairway maze..
While i'm just looking for a place to jump as the breeze hits my face..

Dreams vs Nightmares
My dreams tell me we will be together
Again one day
And
My dreams tell me that this time
You will stay
I still pray
But
My nightmares tell me that we
Never may
And
My nightmares tell me that
There's no way
Sad to say

nightmares
sound horrible when i imagine the nightmares..,
but horribly i am living them now..,
i am not proud that i am able to face them..,
i can't explain what it feel like now..,
every nightmares of my life i am facing now..,
and yet going to face..,
its become my life now..,
its changes but not complete change..,
step by step i am in the edge of the stairs..,
i can't step aside or go back too..,
i can't stay here i need to go straight anyway..,
i can slip but not go back by that too..,
how came everyday i was scared to these nightmares..,
and now i need to live in them..,
i suppose can't escape from reality..,
life is not used to be same..

We don't have nightmares about monsters as an adult because,
Reality scares more than imagination

Nightmares
It is the Journey of the soul.
Creating the illusion in the mind.
It motivates us to come to the
Shores of life.

Come say goodbye to me
I'm traveling to another world
With the gifts I asked from you
Filled in a bag of hope
tied with a thread of peace.
Let me take your pains
Leave you all my gains
I hope it rains
Only love for you.
Come say goodbye to me
I'm leaving my good vibes for you
With the regrets I took from you
Tucked away in my heart
Innocuous, it no longer beats.
Let me take your pains
Leave you all my gains
I hope it rains
Only smiles for you.
Give me all your scars
Your worries and fears
Your frowns and creases
Your worst nightmares
As you play my sound
And you lay me down
With nothing else but them.
When I lay six feet under
Let me take your pains
Leave you all my gains
I hope it rains
And I bloom roses for you.

Inside Me
A Lion In Me Needs To Win Against Life Before My Pride
Where It Feels Like Pointing A Gun That Is Ready To Ignite
Even If It Leaves Me Digging Six Feet Under Ground
I Would Still Challenge The World To Down My Frown

Panacea Tricks;
Sleep Deprivation
I'll try the teas, the tinctures, the elixirs for dreams.
Anything to spell-cast my body to sleep.
And they work; mystifying my body to ease.
But my mind fights on this post-traumatic disease.

Web of Terrors
By: Alecmb
What you call dreamcatchers
I call my web of terrors
For that is where all of my nightmares
Like to reside.

Nightmare
In the charmless nightfall
I navigate through
Unseeable corridors and doorways
A murky darkness
Near the ceiling
Spirals down to me
And propels forward its swamp
A baleful syrup
Of the Unknown

"How can you define nightmares in your own words?"
Me: YASSS
I wake up randomly in the middle of the night, and it's actually fun. :)))
#nightmaresThe haunted lightning memory can never escape these restless nights.

Only if I could wake up and realise that falling in love with you was just a bad dream...
But they say, nightmares sometimes turn to reality...

Trapped
Somtimes I feel so trapped inside
My skin an ever expanding wound
Joints always creaky and painful
In need of oiling
I can't seem to escape it
All of this pain
Always haunting
Like nails in floor boards
Always waiting to strike
Flares of agony
Lighting up the sky
A beacon of strife
Wanting to tear away
Pull away the old wallpaper
Reveal the drywall
All the cracks
The leaks
Imagining the neighbors eyes
Peering inside through the cracks
Holding myself frail
Shakey and slow
Digging through the snow
Swollen and stiff
Becoming the corpses
Hiding behind the walls
The eyes where turned in
Never the neighbor
Just the things you wish you could forget

My nights
are drenched in
Long talks with myself
About how things
Should've been
but can't be.
I lay awake to avoid
My nightmares.
-but i am tormented either way

#newpost #nightmares #tormented #poetsofinstagram #poetry #poetrycommunity #drowning #poetrylovers #poetryislife #writer #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #mirakee #writersnetwork @mirakee @writersnetworkSuffocating in this abyss
My soul writhes
in vacancies that are lightless
In places that have me lifeless.
You have no idea
What it is like
To wake up in oblivion
And perspirating until
You find out it was just a nightmare.
I am tired now, of these illusive dreams
Of this painted silence
Life seems like death
and death seems like life
What a duality
Ambling in the dead of the night
I open my eyes
Only to see
Everything is dark
And there is no light
I feel helpless
I feel hopeless
Can you get me out of this void?
Or should I not bother to Reiterate?
Perhaps I'll collapse into this distant dawn

When I close my eyes
I peel back the mask let down my guard,
To a place deep inside me that's lonely and dark ,
Where the hurt lives,
filled with fear drowning in doubt .
The place I'm terrified one night I'll go in and not find my way out.
Stripped down like an infant with no comfort or calm.
Hoping to win a battle ....….I haven't a clue how to fight,
Praying to end this war that goes on inside me each night.
Needing to make it all stop before I'm worn down too far.
Searching the darkness for my northern star,
Escaping the past has me running so far,
Memories mangled or clear as can be,
of every dark moment I never wanted to see.
Longing to forget ,understand... and forgive.
A twisted puzzle to solve.… before I fall down with no choice but to quit.
Let me find Peace in my mind ,my heart ,and my soul,
I know I am worth it , &I have to take control,
I've made it this far, through the darkness and fright,
Now I must find my way out of the fear into the light.
Free myself from my minds prison....Never give up even with no end in sight.

Everytime i try to sleep,all i see is devils under hoods..
I feel myself screaming but my voice muffled by invisible hands..
Pushed into a never ending abyss..
The darkness around me wailing the silent screams..
Then i drown into the darkest fluid..
Enveloping me as i gasp for breath..
As my gasps grow weaker
I know i am going to die and let out a smile..
Then
Waking up to my mum's screams, i realise..
The biggest nightmare is waking up and still being alive..
