Nightmares

full of shadows and serial killers

Fear and Danger

terrorize me

Yet they are familiar

Become my friends

I come to expect them

when I close my eyes

Dreams

Full of hope and lost people

so fleeting, too short

Hurt way more

I’d much rather have nightmares

I miss my friends

Fear and Danger

I’ve come to know them

Sometimes the familiar

is the biggest comfort

even if it isn’t ideal

or positive

or happy

But it’s familiar
