Bitter Sweet Dreams

Go to sleep, rest your eyes1

Let me hear you scream and cry2

Dream of kittens, dream of cake3

And my precious time I'll take4

Think of puppies in the pet shop5

And the butchers that will chop6

With a smile and a laugh and a cleaver in each hand7

Don't wake up now, keep on sleeping, just stay in your dreaming land8

I'll creep up slow, you will not know, it's all a big surprise9

I'm the creator of all nightmares and I am feeding on your lies10

You haven't a chance, you cannot run11

Come on now, it's all good fun!12

Go to sleep, rest your head13

And you'll wake up oh so dead14

Dream of lovers and your friends15

As they meet unpleasant ends16

Think of roses and a sweet17

There's a body at your feet18

In a dozen or so pieces, covered head to foot in blood19

Don't wake up now, keep on sleeping, just trapped within the mud20

I'll creep up slow, you will not know, it's all a big surprise21

I'm the creator of all nightmares and I am feeding on your lies22

You haven't a chance, you cannot run23

Come on now, it's all good fun!24

Go to sleep, curl up tight25

Wrap yourself up well tonight26

Dream of pixies and the magic27

As I wait here in the havoc28

Think of ponies and young deers29

As the bugs crawl in your ears30

They're so far in, they can't come out, their buried in too deep31

Don't wake up now, keep on sleeping and don't dare to make a peep 32

I'll creep up slow, you will not know, it's all a big surprise33

I'm the creator of all nightmares and I am feeding on your lies34

You haven't a chance, you cannot run35

Come on now, it's all good fun!36

Go to sleep, just relax37

This nightmare's at its max38

Dream of money and young cubs39

Being bludgeoned up by clubs40

Think of bunnies, teddy bears41

And I'll catch you unawares 42

It may not seem like I'm waiting there, but that's part of the game43

Every dream and fear you have, they're all now mine to claim44

I'll creep up slow, you will not know, it's all a big surprise45

I'm the creator of all nightmares and I am feeding on your lies46

You haven't a chance, you cannot run47

Come on now, it's all good fun!48

    This would make a fantastic and creepy blood-chilling song.

    As usual, wonderful job for thinking something up (unusual) and I simply loved the flow of this poem.

    Great job Violette.

    This wasn't bad!! I know it is supposed to be a horror poem, but I almost laughed at some points, or maybe I am just a cruel person.

    It was cool how it went back and forth, between sweet and evil, of course I found it overall rather evil.

    There was one line that didn't make sense, and I know it rhymed, but I think it is more important to make sense. Here's the line:
    "And I'll catch you unawares."

    My only question was, who was talking? That was mystery, not the worst thing you could have done though. Unless of course you wanted that to be unknown.

    Thank you so much for entering, I hope yo do well, and continue writing!!

    This sent shivers down my spine!

    This was excellent! I could literally hear a cold voice cackling the words in my ear. I'm even getting chills down my spine! Excellent shock value.

    I like how this started out somewhat pleasant, but quickly shigted to something dark and grim. The constant pleading to stay asleep and dream of nice things was a great touch. I really enjoyed how this was a poem but tells a vivid story at the same time. Great!
