Lying in
the dark
With nought but the shadows surrounding me
In the
darkness of my dreams
My fears grow
As my world turns darker
still
And the night turns horrors
Into a vile reality.
My
nightmares are real
But they exist in a world
Where fantasy
reigns.
Those black lifeless forms
Drift like depressing
smoke
Into my subconscious
Haunting me night after
night
Plaguing my sleep
With dreams of death.
The black
mist creeps ever closer
To my resting form
As if floating in on
the wind
It's ugly manifestation
Slowly changing
From a
shapeless black mist
To a surly beast
With long claws ready to
strike
Pointed teeth ready to puncture my flesh
Glittering eyes
full of malice
As he stealthily edges closer
To my demise.
I
wake drenched in sweat
And glance up
To see him standing over
me
The beast from my dreams
Who with a wave disappears.
But
I know that he will visit again
In the never ceasing hope that
he
Will eventually succeed
In killing me.
