She has you

[simplyhomemade]

Here's something interesting I wrote after a really cool nightmare:

Running room to room
A maze that never ends
She watches your anguish grow
It's your soul she bends

You think you've found escape
As you enter the last door
But even as you exit
You're where you were before

She haunts you from above
Taunting as you flee
You feel there's no escape now
No hope to be set free

When you finally find the way out
The world is drowned in black
Knowing if she wants to
That she can drag you back

I think most can actually relate to this last stanza in some way or other. When we escape a dark place, knowing what it's like to be there mentally one can't help but wonder when will be the next time we will go back there.

I think that's awesome that you were able to turn around and write inspired by your nightmare. I'm usually a bit too shaken after a nightmare that I exert my energy into reassuring myself of what's reality and that it was just a dream.

That's pretty awesome. Have you considered putting music to it and making it a song? I'm thinking some heavy metal to keep it sounding dark.

What I really like about this is that I can feel the sense of despair and it's like I'm there too and experiencing it.

"It's your soul she bends"
I absolutely loved this line
The poem talks about the darkness of human heart caused by love and longing, pain and suffering, drustrations and disappointments.
