Oustine Hao - I had a Nightmare

I had a nightmare...

Her fur was like ink
Eyes bright as the moon
One look would make your heart sink
Everytime, sometime soon

She was scary, yet valuable...

For some reason
Heart hollow
Any season
My nightmare is something I must follow


I had a nightmare...


That you left me
A map so I can someday find you
Why must it be
The map is blank, dark and blue

Where have you gone...

Covered in haunted mist
No compass, no trail
Yet I will persist
Although one part of me is hiding itself in the shell of a snail


I had a nightmare...


I fear the dark
I can't sleep tonight
Until you call or bark
Tell me everything is alright

I'm here...

Don't go
Don't fly away
Tell me so
That you are here to stay


I had a nightmare...


Yet I must hide from the light
Because it's the map's directions to find you
I hope I'm right
Because I'm giving my best shot to find you

And all the energy I have left...

The energy I have is valuable to me
If you return from the deep black
As long as I can see
I want you back

Right beside me...


I had a nightmare...


And I thank her for the warning...

Although her job was to bring me fear...

She instead gave me the courage...


I had a nightmare...


She gave me the courage to speak to you
And write this all down
All I hope is that the deep blue
Will not make us drown

I want you to stay!

Oustine Hao
