nightmares (song) by Quinn Vokes I Know a girl Who’s pretty As she can be Her name Is Betty But she wants To be called Lee She wants A better life She’s tired of living On the streets She wants Someone at night To hold her When she screams **************** OH! To have a family That care About her OH! To have anyone at all So she’s not so lonely And alone **************** There’s A little boy Who’s not as little As he seems He lies Awake at night Wishing he Felt more alive The boy Is surrounded With friends And family So why then Does he feel Like the walls Are closing in? *************** The boy Doesn’t understand Why the world Is so cruel The boy Hates everyone For liking him Like they do *************** CHORUS *And the nightmares come – quickly And the nightmares come fast You can’t outrun the devil When your hands and feet are clasped When your hands and feet are clasped* *************** The girl Sees the boy Leave his home On Christmas Eve She waits And then she follows him And where he leads She can’t believe He’s on The Brooklyn Bridge With a sad smile On his face She screams Bloody murder As he jumps – There goes the boy ***************** CHORUS *Voice doodad* ***************** The girl Knows what she must do But she’s afraid So afraid She takes Her knife and admires it The blood running down Her arms The girl can’t live with the nightmares anymore The boy’s face invades her dreams No one will miss me when I’m gone Her vision blurs – And she falls to the ground CHORUS x2 01/15/2003 Posted on 01/15/2003 Copyright © 2025 Quinn Vokes Member Comments on this Poem Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 11/29/06 at 11:54 PM Enjoyed this, thanks for the read!
