Elucidating Questions

Nightmares are where you mind goes to ensure the daymare never ends.

Nightmares are where you’ve never been on a double-decker bus that fell over, but your mind creates it anyways.

Where you held your breath on the bus the day before because “one breath leads to another yeah”,

So the bus tries to kill you in your sleep.

Only to be disappointed when you wake, and try to get back to sleep.

Nightmares are where he’s with her everywhere and I already know so I don’t need to be told I didn’t need to be reminded

Nightmares are where the wolf goes to show me what it could be like

And then announce he has a girlfriend

Nightmares are where the fears of the day play out

But don’t give you anything in return

They say you have to give to take so I give every ounce of myself every single day but the nightmares still come

Where you search all night for someone to hold on to because the day was empty

And your mind cannot even fathom such a thing

You wake up thinking

I just needed a hug

I want to go back to sleep

Because you know you won’t find anyone

In the empty continuing day.
