pleasing_nightmare

Many nights as I lay in bed,
I dare to dream, a dream as bold as red,
I wonder if there's a happy ending to this nightmare,
A nightmare of an evil beauty all too fair.
In the dream, I see you and I date,
I am then within the confines of a jail with no gate.
This dream... is it good or is it bad?
And will it end happy or sad?
It is the night of the prom,
Nothing has gone horribly wrong.
You're wearing a beautiful evening gown,
Suddenly, I'm falling beyond the ground.
As quickly as it happened,
I see despair at my door, casually tappin'
I've been devoured by anguish and grief,
By dozens of sharpened loving teeth.
You're a nefarious scheme,
Something that could only exist in a dream...
