SWEET NIGHTMARE

in another realm
strange dimensions of my head
i see a maze
the most difficult to overcome
i'm confused,
direction seems to fall farther away.
i walk and walk
anxious i am,
will i ever get out of this place?
walls surround me
fog leaves me blind
woe drives me insane.
then in the farthest i see a light,
one that is not all that bright,
yet i contemplate everything in sight.
i see a disturbed shadow in the middle.
like a perfect portrait.
i know i shouldn’t, but i move closer.
closer and closer
then i approach the sight.
I see a man,
A boy,
A teen,
he lies in a puddle of blood.
he was beautiful.
he was wonderful.
the sight i see is lovely.
then, he reaches out his hand,
he touches my face,
leaving me with symbols of blood.
I kneel down,
I dip my finger in the puddle,
I dare taste the blood,
It was fresh,
It was beautiful in decay,
then i sit beside him.
I put my arm around him,
and i say, "Everything is going to be okay."
I see tears come out of his eyes,
comfort in my soul,
as well as in his.
his eyes had something,
his darkness had charm.
my instincts overcome.
That day we walked out of the shadows
and out of the maze,
covered in blood
never to come back,
never to look behind.
Unharmed,
and together forever.
