The Curse

The curse

I am a prisoner

Of my own dreams

My nightmare

Is always what it seems

 

The curse

I am trapped

In the past

While my end

Comes fast

 

The curse

My memories don't

Match my senses

My understandings

Are pretenses

 

The curse

I never want to sleep

I never want to wake

My heart weeps

My eyes ache

 

The curse

Sometimes I forget

To breathe

My anger cries

My tears seethe

 

The curse

The real world

Makes no sense
