Please, oh, please... <br /> <br />May I fall awake, <br />leaving this terrible, <br />horrible, breathtaking <br />nightmare dream, <br />which has left me <br />knee deep in sweat <br />and breathless with fear, <br /> <br />afraid to fall asleep, <br />afraid to return <br />to dark night's terrors, <br />to things which loom up <br />out of the pit of darkness, <br />out of midnight's blackness, <br /> <br />willing to take my mind, <br />my heart, <br />my very soul... <br />Please, oh, please, <br />allow me to return, <br />alive and rested <br />to daylight's hours. <br />Let me fall awake! <br /> <br />Scarlett Treat <br />March 26,2009<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/falling-awake/
