Touched by the Mara

A blink of an eye, and the scenery changed
No longer safe, surroundings rearranged
The nightmare has come
To give me uneasy sleep
I scream to be awake
But my dream’s to deep
Another night in the land of fear
It draws me near
I’m no coward, I’m fighting and bleeding
The mare has found me once again
A storm rages in my mind
The dark has left me blind
When sanity is hanging by a thread
My own cries wake me, lying in my bed
After the battle
After all is said and done
I still feel the pain
An I the only one
Another night in the land of fear
It draws me near
Nightmare’s coming, fangs are biting
Cold hands clutching around my throat
Nightmare’s sound me, all around me
Unspoken horror steals my covers
I’m no coward, I’m fighting and bleeding
The mare has found me once again
A storm rages in my mind
The dark has left me blind
