dream a nightmare

The images of animals and creatures that lurk far in the conscience
Creeping out of the dark corners to watch you and become an audience 
the claws that reach out of the darkness
you see talons that have a shining sharpness
that cuts you so deeply
you begin to feel weakly
pain throbbing quickly
the taste of blood so sickly
closing your eyes to black
wondering if you are still being attacked
coldness fills you slowly
you feel so lowly
gasping for air to a burst of light
thankful there is not one shadow in sight 
Lying awake you think about what made you so terrified
You don’t think you could fall back asleep even if you tried
