A long time ago,

When I was young,

And ignorent to the world around me.

I was happy,

Loving my life,

And everything that I could see.

But suddenly,

I was thrown,

Unwilllingly into a terrifying dream.

Forced to live,

Every single day,

In a dark, neverending nightmare.

My life was ruined,

I was broken,

And my whole life seemed like a dream.

A horrilbe dream,

I was treaped inside,

Unable to wake myself up again.

But one day,

I met you,

And I thought I'd been awaken.

My numbness,

Went away,

And my life seemed real again.

My pain,

Crumbled away,

Whenever you were around me.

I felt loved,

And Accepted,

For once in my twisted life.

I turned to you,

In my hour of need,

And you stood there right beside me.

I was happy,

I felt safe.

Like I was living now in a new dream.

One that I,

Hoped and wished

Would never--ever--come to an end.

But just when,

I was finally healing,

Something went horribly wrong.

I've been woken,

To find myself,

Trapped int he same nightmare as before.

Only this time,

It is different.

This time I know it was all real.

I know now,

That I'm awake.

I had never been alseep before.

When I thought,

You'd woken me up,

Really, you had only put me to sleep.

Now I've finally,

Woken up.

Back into my old nightmares, the same as before.

This time,

It's much worse.

Because this time I lost something dear.

Before I had only,

Wished for that thing,

But once I finally got it I let it slip away.

You put me,

Under your spell,

And it was too strong for me to see,

That I was only,

Destorying myself,

And beginign to stir once again.

This demon,

Inside me,

Has finally woken from it's slumber.

From the spell,

You cast upon it.

Now it's stronger than it was last time.

I'm trapped,

In old nightmares.

The same exact ones as before.
