12th of Never

When you sleep in the dead of night
The nightmares control your life...
And why do the needles of pain persist
When you close your eyes?
Did you turn to the darkness and scream
To try and stop all the dreams?
You can't hide. The mental embrace
Has taken your place...
Now you're locked inside, lost inside.
Nobody mentions the world that still seethes
In the deepest addictions of dreams.
When you crawl in under your skin,
You will let me in.
As the veil of this world fades away
And the light turns gray,
Demons hide in the corners to steal you away
When you close your eyes.
Cruel indeed are the worlds you create
As you stand at the gate of your mind.
Despair... emptiness...
The horror... and yes,
You're lost inside, locked inside.
Frozen in fear, shrouded in tears,
The child you were then is still here
Locking the years away... sanity severed
Returning the 12th of Never.

This is one of may favorite pieces of imagery that I've written. It's obviously a song. It's the follow-up to the song My Room. Feel free to have a listen to 12th of Never at MrHappyMusic.com.
