Jennifer Cramer (August 8,1992 / Van Wert, Ohio)
Nightmare
Running, running
Must get away
It’s here, it’s here
I mustn’t stay
Com back, come back
I hear it say
I mean no harm
I just want to play
Faster, faster
I run around
Hush, be quiet
Make little sound
Step, step
Don’t make a peep
I’m so tired
But I mustn’t sleep
Die, die
I hear it scream
Your blood will flow
Like a stream
Pat, pat
I hear it coming
Closer now
Keep on running
Ha-ha, ha-ha
I see it grinning
Oh that laugh
My head is spinning
Yes, yes
Now I got you
I am winning
You always knew
Help me, help me
I say as I bleed
His job is done
He did his deed
Die, die
He sealed my fate
You run up
But you to late
Gone, gone
Flying on the wings of a dove
I’ll miss you
My true love
