Morbid Dreams

Shadows move along my walls,
A gentle breeze sways movement from outside.
A glint of moonlight that catches my attention.
I turn over catching that which i need most.

A thousand thoughts run through a tired mind
A million reasons that keep me awake.
I bury my head under the sheets.
But my attempts prove to be futile.

Sleep escapes me tonight...

My mind racing but my body can't keep up.
Soon, my mind fades into a subconsious lull.
I drift into a most needed slumber.
But my mind has not finished its tribulations.

Vivid images flash through, plunging my very psyche.
3AM, Message recieved...
Death on a most unholy hour.
Name plays over and over...

A burning light from behind hinders my deprived eyes.
Still tight from the lack of sleep they struggle.
A bright orange luminiscence keeps my vision blurred.
Then darkness once again and I weep

I mumble a name as if to say goodbye.
A glint of that a familiar orange light reappears.
Sadness seeps in deeper still.
And I wake...

I check my phone.
No remnants of the memories that passed.
A dream. Just a dream.
A warning? Could be.

This night, I dreamt of death.
Today, I live a life with a warning of death...
But not of mine.
