In my dreams
I see people dying,
I wake all of a sudden
to find myself crying.
When I close my eyes
the images return,
and whilst still awake
I remind myself that
there’s no need for concern,
I try telling myself
it’s just my imagination
running riot,
like it always does
when everything is quiet.
But as I fall asleep,
I slowly lose control,
as these thoughts re-emerge
to repossess my soul.
The faces of loved ones
appear before my eyes,
none with smiles
just on a mission to antagonise.
Some are dying
whilst others are mourning.
Now that I’m awake
should I take it as a warning.
