Nightmare.

My Dream

Help me.

Help me please.

Big black bugs crawling all over me,

I can feel them roaming over my skin

and under my skin.

I stretch out a piece on my arm

with my thumb and index finger.

I can see them.

Little black smudges squishing

their way through me.

They're eating me.

Each takes a little pinch of a bite

every millisecond that passes.

I can feel myself being eaten away..

It hurts..

A twisting pain haunts me as I fall to my knees.

My spine is lodged in a weird position 

and I cannot move.

The bugs continue to nibble away,

their tiny sharp white teeth munching on me.

My skin is close to gone completely

and I am a living blood-red corpse.

Hints of skull are showing as I murmur one last word.

"Help.." Is all I can say as I take my final gasp of air.

And I lay there,

on the cold wood floor beside my bed.

Blankets lay twisted and stained.

The bugs remain, eating away the rest of my dead body.

What made this dream so terrifying was..

You where sitting right next to me the whole time

with a smug little smile on your pinched up face.

Author's Note

Yes, I really dreamed this, and I woke shocked.
My heart was beating really freaking fast and I thought I was going to have a heart attack...
The first thing I checked was my skin. No bugs, thank god. My arm had fallen asleep and was the cause of the tingling through my body. I hate it when things like this happen.

ive had a dream like this before. they are creepy!

Gah, this made my skin crawl. Especially when you mention the 'someone' (I'm guessing someone who is supposed to care greatly for you) Is sitting there and watching you waste away. I LOVE IT because it makes me feel something. Very vivid. I hope that you have no more terrible dreams like this, even if they would make for astounding poetry. (';

Great write. I believe that bad dreams are what could've been. I mean it doesn't mean tht you could've been eaten alive by bugs. But you could've gone through the worst thing in the world and somebody cruel enough would just stand there and watch. But anyways, you stated your feelings and dream very well. Good job! :)

A lot of people fear bugs. Bugs are best at a distance. A scary story in the poem. Dreams are warning signs for us. When we have bad dreams. Mean something bad may happen or we have too much stress? We must be careful. I like the ending to the excellent poem.

I've had this dream before. But a little differen't.
I'm sorry... I mean thats horrible.. Who was it that was watching you? OR I mean sitting?

This is really vivid. Nice job on remembering your dream so well. This was very good, bad dreams are horrible though. But hey, it was just a dream and not really happening.
