nightmares

i'm eating myself alive eating eating eating there is gnawing chewing swallows shallow breathing there are screams dark shadows darker than this darkness that surrounds me deep figures in the corners next to my bed there is chasing fighting screaming killing dying everything is warm i am surrounded there is floating falling drowning murdering there is terror there are teeth claws there is pain melting faces melting eyes swaying sillhouettes dark figures flowing shadows there is tossing turning tossing turning as i drift in and out and in and out and in and out fetal position surrounded tossing in turning out i hate it hate it hate it hate it hate it make it stop stop stop these nightmares are more than i can handle i want them gone demons gone shadows gone screaming crying killing dying gone gone gone there is heat there is heat it's too warm but i am too afraid i can't bring myself to turn around just pray pray pray i am eating myself alive eating eating eating and this has got to stop.
