Dream Monster

Its something that I wrote while reflecting on some things that used to bother me Tried to explain it, and this is how it ended up

I have let those torches burn my skin

My wrath subdued, and let my demons win

Those thoughts have slowly consumed my mind

Leaving me broken and hurt inside

 

A dreamer awakens from his sleep

He clutches onto those moments of grief

He dreamt of me, and in return I dreamed

Of broken windows and walls that bleed

 

A little girl is lost in the woods

Those tears led me here and here I stood

Hoping that her dreams would take her somewhere else

Where her memories won’t knock on the doors of Hell.

 

So it begins with just one mark

Thoughts turned to dreams, and bitter thoughts turned dark

I am the monster that you fought so hard

I am the haunted dreams that you tried to kill from the start.

Wow. This is one of the better poems i've written on this site. The rhythm is exceptional. The rhyming you not only bump your words together, but it keeps each stanza glued to the next. The content is exceptional as well. A nightmare of someone's malicious thoughts... This doesn't always happen while we sleep....
Your meter is also, just about there. There are only one or two spots that you let it slip, but your fantastic rhythm and content will cause anyone who isn;t scrutinizing your poem to overlook it.
Well done.

Thank you :3
Its actually the first poem I've written in a very long time (its almost been a year and a half since I wrote something). I enjoy playing with a meter a bit, I tried to make it as fluent as possible but that was the best I could do x.x Other than that thank you for your kind words. I'm glad that you enjoyed reading it.
