Sometimes the paralyzing fears that hunt us down in dreams have no choice but to pursue us when we flee into the bitter cold of reality.
nightmares
weaving tendrils
of dissatisfaction cutting
hot red lines of
rotting promises
as smoke from the ash of dreams
crawls closer to my caring
eyes trying to shut out fear
the longing for capability
capricious gawking shade
scarred exhausted, rise again
usher in the dawn
with eyes that bleed from burning light
that slowly suffocates what hope
had planned to stand with me
in the hellish light of day.
so much for nightmares.
Deep, beautiful, and dark write. If you put in the right capitalization and punctuation, it would make it even better. It just makes your writing look more professional makes the you more credible in the eyes of the reader. Fantastic job
