Nightmare

I am stuck in here, in this dark realm, with him riding around my mind,

Ripping my mind apart and putting the pieces back behind,

Stitching it in the weirdest of ways, just to break it open again,

Over and over again, he's been playing me down to my deepest pains.

With pains which I'm prone to be petrified, he's daunting me to death,

 With the horrors buried deep within, he's making me dread with each breath.

But am I the one lose? I'm sure I ain't his petty puppet,

With the strings to dance to his whooshes, and flicks which make me fret.

He was never my master, nor was I his pet. 

Born out of my mind, he's just a "nightmare" I'd hate,

A monster, I wouldn't feed, with the darkest thoughts he needs, 

But he's a bad dream, I'd love to forget, with the sweetest moments I live.
