Nightmares

I lay there darkness covering me  
And I feel them  
The bugs
They writhe and slither  
Eating me alive  
Savoring my bitter blood  
Dizzy, I try to save myself  
But I cant get up; I'm trapped  
My almost lifeless body grows pallid
while the maggots devour my flesh
and I start to rot and decay  
Does anyone notice  
No.....  
They're all too preoccupied with their own problems  
Waiting for sweet death I lay motionless, paralyzed  
I pray for the end of this perpetual nightmare  
Finally I screech "HELP!!!"  
But then suddenly I wake up  
It was simply a nightmare
Wasn't it....?
