Remember The Eyes (Like You)

another poem based on a nightmare.

Stop staring at me.

Really, I know it's a nightmare

but STOP. IT.

Right now.

Really, I know this isn't real

but that doesn't stop the fear I feel.

Your pale hands reaching for me

with dark black eyes round and wide

and that scary sightless way you see

You're staring into me.

Black hair all mangled and messy

All shrunken in and bones white through your skin

You terrify me, as I push you away and run from the room

but I feel you staring at me still

As I run for one person I know can help

but I reach her room and start to scream

I swear, I know it's a dream

but GOD she looked JUST LIKE YOU

and I didn't know what to do

So when she reached for me and pulled me in

and I felt my soul seeping through my skin

I wondered if it was suicide,

letting her kill me that way

but as I hear her twisted voice and that strangled cry of yours as you slowly walk in

I realize, it really doesn't matter,

I won't even scream

and I'm really not surprised when I wake up in bed

and find out it was only a dream.

 

I walk through the day in a trance later on

after I've climbed out of bed and walk into school

Your eyes follow me,

black and dirty and so sightless I don't know how you see

and I see her face

and I see her mouth open wide as I shock her awake and see

she's just like you now

but not in reality

she never will be

not in reality.

Author's Note

*shivers* WORST NIGHTMARE EVER.
Really, it's almost nine o'clock at night and I'm still terrified to go to sleep, aside from that I hear we might have a power outage....and I'm afraid of the dark.
D:
I might have my dog sleep in my bed tonight...
Anyway, let me know what you think of this, please, leave a review on your way out!

I feel for you. I know these things are a living hell. At least while they last, and they last longer than the dream, by way of emotions. The saddest part, is that they usually stem from a real life situation, and things that are on your mind in the subconscious. On the bright side, it does provide for Excellent poetry or stories. That evens the playing field! One negative + One positive return = Success! Bravo!!! I applaud you!

I am astounded at the detail, desperation, and terror of this 'nightmare'...the fact that you have wove it into such a piece is chilling and disturbing!...(what are you eating before bed?! to cause such horrible dreams?.....)
You did a purely awesome job of making me want to stay up all night long!...i'm afraid this will stick in my head awhile...so Great Job!...thanks so much..lol...

maybe you should listen to soft soothing music as you fall asleep...no scratch that...that sort of music always caused nightmares for me....

keep up the fabulous writing!
