A dream within a dream

As the darkness prevails the haunting begins
Lonely in my room, the room feels like a graveyard
The graves that my lovers reigned,
The world I left behind, the horror that returns
Returns to haunt me, deep into the darkness
There comes my lady’s light
She was the white like a paper
She comes with darkness like the reaper
Her smile that brightened the moon now comes
Comes like the laughter of the demon
The voice that sang like angels in the sky
Terrifies me like the sound of thunder in the sky
As I try to run, another grave opens, grave of my tiger
Then comes the tiger, my black tiger
To whom I spent my night with,
The one we ride across the moon together
She was my first night and my forever
As I try to run for safety she captures me
Scared I wake up in a dream
With the darkness in my room,
As I see the small light dim
I see the rose growing from the light
With the smell so bright
Quickly I ran towards the rose
As I try to catch it, it cuts me leaving bruises
Afraid I become hoping the morning will come
As I realize it was a dream within a dream.
