Nightmare

Please don't read if you are offended by the F word

Yes you maybe fucked up in many ways
But that shouldn't mean you lock yourself away

Yes you may have the nightmares to
But they don't have to be all there is to you

Yes you may feel that I wouldn't, couldn't possibly understand
You are right I have never walked through a war torn land

But I feel your pain too
Especially last night when the nightmare took you

I was scared beyond belief
Horrified I couldn't offer any relief

We sat, you talking about your nightmare
Me listening with a loving stare

When I next awoke it was me who had fallen victim to the reminders of the past
My fucked past come back to haunt me at last

Together we are victims of seeing too much
Our experiences exist to taunt and haunt us as such.
