Night Terror
tears
held back
kept
from flowing
pain
anguish
fear
why
why me
why
salty liquid
hangs on to
jet black lashes
unsure what to do
body trembles
uncontrollably
shudder
restraint
why
why me
why
a memory falls
in each drop
but it does not
disappear
agony
torment
despair
why
why me
why
silent suffering
endured
where is the light
at the end of the tunnel
