The Nightmare Spies

Submitted by bubblegirl19 on May 7, 2008 - 16:42.

Nightmares are spies
Hidden in the corners of your dreams
Unseen, untouched, unremarkable
Careful observers they are
Noticing what makes you cringe
Scream and tremble in terror
And then. . .
They pounce
Latching on to your weakness
Making you tremble, cringe, and scream
Until you are terrified out of your mind
Then they slink back into the shadows
Those crafty nightmare spies
