My worst nightmare

 

As I lay in my bed, thoughts start to creep

 
What is my worst nightmare? I wonder half asleep,

 
Is it entirely losing or is it not getting to keep? 

 
Keep the things in life that make it worth living,

 
Keep the desire of a vindict or the joy of forgiving.

 
Keep the sensations of nature alive in my heart,

 
Keep the serenity of witnessing a work of art.

 
Or is it entirely losing the things that I have now?

 
From the love of a lover's sweet bough,

 
To even the agony of an enemy's hate,

 
To entirely lose feeling all to fate..

 
So what is my worst nightmare? I wonder half asleep,

 
Is it entirely losing or is it not getting to keep?.
