I had just started to remember
What it was to fall asleep
To rest through till morning
Without interruptions
With no reasons to being scared
But just as sleep was taking me
I felt again the gentle pull upon the sheet
Then that touch upon my leg
Cold and vice like in its grasp
All I could do was scream to let me go
Trembling full of fear
I thought this nightmare had been over
But once again it had returned
The bruises around my ankle
Proof this was never just in my head
