Nightmare visited me last night
yet again
I was delighted to see
yet again
To tell you a secret
it was not so much my hospitality
I was just lonely
and a nightmare was the best company
there could be
In fact it was no longer a stranger
it had acquired the status of a friend
in the beginning not a friend, friend
a friend as the fellow
who just walked in every eve
into my open country dwelling
then it became a friend, friend
so good in fact
that if it does not come
every odd night
I feel lonely
