Yami Yume
Shrouded in shadow I am beckoned
A drop of blood runs down my lips
All around me are raspy whispers
Which slowly morph into hollowed screams
Agony and fear peirce my soul
As if Hell itself is rising within me
Setting fire to my very essence
Tears race down my cheeks before finally
Dropping off my chin and hitting the stone floor
As crimson drops of life force
Without seeing myself, I know
I am painfully decaying
My mind is broken and warped
My sanity ceases to exist
All I see is blood
All I hear is the chilling scream of an ending life
A grin creeps upon my face
It's against my control, yet I feel no remorse
I open my eyes and see white
Pure white
Like snow
I am restrained, my arms locked against my body
I laugh, horrendously, beautifully, insanely
I do not have dark dreams
I have dark memories

Yami Yume translates to "Dark Dream". Would you believe me if I said this is a symbolism for war? It's about a person who went off to war, forced to kill people, and upon returning feels trapped and horrible as if they are a mass murderer, constantly plagued at night by the things they have done even if it was, to an extent, beyond their control.
