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.

So vivid. You know it was a crazy dream when you wake up and make sure it wasn't real and you captured that feeling. Good poem

I hate that too. You described this nightmare very well. Great job!
