Excellent To dream, or not to dream. Consumed in Despair by Jake P. "Recurring Nightmare" Saraband contest entry

In shadows deep, the silence screams,   A haunting echo, lost in dreams.   The stars above, like eyes that stare,   As darkness wraps me in its lair.    The moonlight fades, a ghostly thread, Through fears that linger, filled with dread,   In this embrace, our nightmares flare.   I close my eyes in hopeful prayer That dreams tonight hold no despair. With every breath, the terror grows,   A tapestry of dread that flows.   The world retreats, consumed by gloom, With visions, dark, my mind consumes. I'm trapped inside a hapless snare.
