When Nightcrawler Sleeps

It's been another sleepless night,
For all of you who hide from light,
Your in my clutches, in my sight
You are my prisoner for tonight.

But in the morning when you wake,
And the lingering fear is now escaped,
I take a breath to sea the day,
On wings of death I slip away.

I pull a mask back over my face,
To hide my anger, hide my rage,
So when I return they can't see my hate,
That leaves me with this empty state.

I close my eyes now so I can rest,
And my own night terrors dance in my head,
He lays there, still, a knife through his chest,
My eyes clouded over, filled with regret.

I turn away and start to run,
From predator to prey, what have I done?
His spirit lingers, it has begun,
"I'm sorry master", time is undone.

I shoot up like a bullet from sleep,
Sweat covers my body and gits my feet,
I can't stop panting feverishly,
That dream will continue haunting me.
