Vivid Nightmares
(Thinking in the dark)

A thought spirals
Going down your neural pathways
Taking root
In your very brain

Your eyes
Wide awake
Red
Unblinking

A little bit tired
In this vivid nightmare

You yawn
And blink
Not really realising
That you're not yet asleep

A thought spirals
Drawing your attention
Captivating you
In its ice cold grip

A little bit tired
In this vivid nightmare

You watch
As a play takes place
Dancing around
Keeping you satiated

Listening to their complains
As you drift in between
Those whispers in your ears
Getting you another look

A little bit tired
In this vivid nightmare

Frustration dripping
Pooling on your pillow
As you fist your blanket
Hardly staying sane

A clouded mind 
Surrounded in shadows
Buzzing loudly
But not making a sound

You're barely awake
In this vivid nightmare

Since I'm mass uploading rn I'm keeping the little notes beneath the names.
