Dark Dreams

I remember all too clear
When I wish not to remember
I'd forgotten for these many years
Yet a dream evokes such pain

 

A slight massage before I slumber
To ease my aching knees
A motherly touch I'd lost
One that I now miss
Dread would fill me as she'd leave
Because I knew
The other will come soon enough
She'd wait a short while, of course
Ensureing our isolation
Then with quiet slimy steps
She’d find her way to my bedside
I could hear her thoughts in the darkness
Fear encased my poor soul
Because I knew
I knew what she wanted
What she expected of me
I knew I had no choice
Trouble would find me
If "no" found my lips

 

Then I awaken
And live with this burden
I suffocate slowly, I say
As if she's still sitting on me
As If I were young again

I like your style of writing.. dark, mysterious, and full of metaphors.. You create drama with a simple twisting of words, leaving the reader either wanting more, or thinking deeply about the things you are publishing..
