Nightmare

You came to me in the night
saying kind words with soft touches
driving me from the light
because of want, not need
mind thoroughly grasped in evil clutches

within a fortnight, I was driven
insane
have I yet to be forgiven
even with no exterior
feigned?
Cursed dreams that teach
nothing
a reminder of past mistakes
forget
emotional surge of that I wish
disappear

Regret. despair. lunacy. rage.
byproducts of nightmares
mind trapped in sleepless cage
as body prostrated in prayer

a fortnight of writhing and crying
suddenly cease to be
those evil hands that spurned haunting
banished for eternity
