Night Terrors



I'm being tormented every night
For these terrors are not right
I have dreams within dreams
Don't know if they're true,
But it's how it seems

How can I go on if all I feel is fear?
How can I continue to say "I love you dear"?
I want to believe that they're not real
I want to rid my mind of this constant feel

Someone please help me, I cannot go on-
Just load a gun, and with that I'll be gone.
I'd rather take the easy way out
For my life as of now is just a doubt
