She waited for the nightmare to pass
She thought if she could sleep comfortably Enough
If she could wrap the blankets around her bare, torn skin tightly Enough
If she could close her eyes and keep them closed for long Enough
She could tire away the demons of her soul
She thought
Eventually their claws would lose their grips
That they would find a way to fall asleep
Eventually her eyes would get tired of being shut closed
And be hungry for touching the world she was too afraid to step close to
Eventually
Eventually
The nightmare would find a way to call itself a new name
In her dreams
