Nightmare Hope

Sitting silently
patiently
surrounded by darkness
hoping
no nightmares
no more
How many weeks has it been
since I have not been plagued
by nightmares
one after another
some ridiculous
and some terrifying in their reality?
It has been so long
one two three
four five six
days
weeks
months
one year
So long since I have been able to rest at night
peaceful
dreaming sweet dreams
one not of
fire
one not of being chased
or losing everyone
I never die
in my nightmares
Just run
People think I stay up till the crack of dawn
because I love the night
While true
that is only partially the reason
The truth would be
that I'm to afraid
to close my eyes
and sleep
just...
sleep
