Ghosts

I dream of you, 
A nightmare realized. 
Inescapable vision, 
Nightly repetition.  

I dream of you, 
A permanent feature. 
Subconscious imprint, 
Eternal torment.  

I dream of you. 
A shivery chill 
Elicits icy draught 
of intrusive thoughts.  

I dream of you. 
Haunting shadows 
Of suicidal ideation 
Offer escape from violation. 

I dream of oblivion. 
A bid for freedom. 
Seek peace of mind, 
In darkness or light.
