Nightmare

Nightmare



The breath is sucked from my lungs

Ripping it wide open

Open and exposed, vulnerable to the darkness.

The inevitable lonely consumes me, and the raw edges of my exposed chest burn in pain.

My ears ring from a load screaming nose

My head spins as I try to locate this torturing sound

When, when will it come?

I pray for it now, begging for my re leaf, for total numbness to consume me.

My focus falters and the screaming stops..

My heart pounds so hard against my chest....

If it pounds any harder won't it fall out where my chest has already been ripped open?

But wait, the screaming is still gone? Just then it hits me, the screaming was me.

My eyes snap open, blinking through the river of salt flavored tears

Sweat sticks to my body and dampens my clothes...

My breath is fast and hard and barely chocking back the sobs that are trying to strangle me

Finally I am able to see, feel the comfort of my sheets shielding me

My breathing slowed and my lungs opened up.

Realizing it was just a dream.
