Sweet Dreams
Day is done
Nothing more
Weary eyes close
Eager for what dreams may come
Without warning
The landslide starts
Engulfing me
Senses dimmed
Memories wash over
The dam has broken
Unleashing the ghosts
Of those I failed
Unable to escape
Close my eyes
To no avail
Burned into my mind
Can’t breathe
Can’t think
Heart racing
Buried beneath the slide
Voice has left
Can’t scream
Need air
Need light
MAKE IT STOP
I see her eyes
Watch the fire
As helpless now
As then
Finally
The rain
Eyes pouring poison
Purging myself
Breaking free
From the inside
My mind
Exhausted
I sleep
Sweet dreams
TD
