Nightmarescapes

I tripped, fell into the mud
Tears streaming from my face
What was I running from?
What could scare me so bad?
That my lungs might explode
But I couldn't scream
As I looked down into the puddle
My reflection without a face
As it broke away and I entered a house
Men women and children
Hanging from the ceilings upside down
Their faces mutilated
Their insides hanging out from them
I want to scream, I want to die
I have never felt true horror
Until I realize after they let out moans
They're still alive....
And I turn and run, smashing through the window
Falling to the street below
Falling forever as I watch the rain go up
See my reflection on a window as I fall
And I'm walking through a field
As a vampire slits a womans throat
Her screaming slowly stops
The fear still in her eyes
As he drinks her blood, draining life from her
Then eyes me as I stand mortified
Too scared to run as he darts to me
I can feel blood pumping in my ears
Know he can smell it, hes on me
I can see my reflection in his eye
In that instant I'm in an attic
Dust and spider webs everywhere
I try to move but can't
I look down to see my hands and arms covered in webs
Spiders crawling over my body
as I raise my head to scream
They crawl into my throat
and I shut my eyes
and open them to a giant tree in an autumn forest
Standing next to me is a beautiful girl
She looks so happy, I feel happy as can be
As a giant mushroom cloud raises over the trees
I see her staring and crying
Until her eyes burn from her skull
As she screams and I run to catch her
Just as the fire engulfs everything beautiful
And I wake up....
Covered in sweat and look out the window
And wonder to myself
If I'm awake or not this time
Because there are monsters
In every world.
