Monsters in the Night

In the hush of the night, dreams invade my head,

Haunted by shadows, whispers of the dread.

Waking from slumber, the clock strikes three,

Memories like monsters, they come back for me.

The purse flying at my head, her anger in flight,

Eyes blazing like fire, a storm in the night.

Frustration like thunder, with stuff at her feet,

A dance of rage, in the cold, bitter street.

I’d throw back my heart, like a shattered glass dream,

But every replay, it tears at the seam.

She stormed out with fury, the echo still rings,

In the silence that follows, her haunting still clings.

Good night, good night, when will it cease?

Cloaked in the shadows, searching for peace.

In the depths of my mind, where the monsters play,

Good night, good night, I just want them away.

Back in the corner, she returns like a dream,

Shivering whispers, a chilling scream.

“You need to feed me,” her eyes cold as ice,

In layers of darkness, the cost of the price.

Should I have seen clearly, the monster in disguise?

A sweet mask of chaos, hiding in lies.

SUV triggers the past with a vengeance so loud,

Echoes of moments, lost in the crowd.

Good night, good night, when will it cease?

Cloaked in the shadows, searching for peace.

In the depths of my mind, where the monsters play,

Good night, good night, I just want them away.

Pain in the theater, it carved like a knife,

Every heartbeat a battle, this struggle’s my life.

I’ll rise from the ashes, reclaim day by day,

No longer a prisoner, I’ll find my own way.

So good night to the darkness, I’m breaking the chain,

Finding my freedom, embracing the pain.

Hoping tomorrow, the sun will ignite,

Good night, good night, to the fears in the night.
