Crimson Leaf

Lying in bed
I drift into slumber
Waking to find myself lost
Inside a twisted dream

Coal trunks
And blood leaves
The horrific trees weep
Spilling crimson tears

The flat black floor
Dotted with startling orange
Deceiving my searching eyes
I feel my stomach turn

Suddenly I sink
Falling
The great chasm seals seamlessly above me
And nobody hears my strangled scream

Awoken by my own fear
I sit upright in my bed
Eyes find my hand
Clutching a crimson leaf
