Forever a Nightmare

A poem I threw together just now.

The dreams of the dreamers can do little harm
Unless you never wake up.
To dream through the night has its own little charm
Unless you never wake up.

When dream turns to nightmare you wake with a shout
Unless you cannot wake up.
There's nothing to do but to ride the night out
Unless you cannot wake up.

The nightmares have won and it's time for the end.
And now you cannot wake up.
You're cornered by monsters and corpses of friends
And now you cannot wake up.

They reach out with their claws. "Come join us," they say.
And now you will never wake up.
Your body is gone with the onset of day
And now you will never wake up.

Hope you liked it.
