Soul Snatcher

With utter horror
I awake at night
a creature demonic
I can't move or fight
 
It crawls up on me
Its limbs cold and dead
It can't get in my ear
so it tries my mouth instead
 
I want so to scream
to chase it away
but it keeps on coming
and speechless I lay
 
My body is frozen
the cadaverous beast
tries orifice after orifice
I'm the lamb to be fleeced
 
Struggling hard
I then realize
I am still dreaming
so I can't vocalize
 
In my mind I think
"Wake up, damn...wake up!"
I finally scream
and take a last look close up:
 
Black skin with long claws
fingers nimble and strong
the demon lets go
"My god, this took long."
 
And as I sit upright
I still feel the sensation
of the creature on me
even after cessation
 
I will always wonder
if this was real
or merely a dream
I could strongly feel
 
The worst about this
was I could not scream
It almost got inside me
as insane as it may seem

Author's Note
This really happened to me years ago. It felt like a real experience, not just a dream. Mainstream psychology would call this sleep paralysis, but in the olden days, in most cultures this would be called a demonic attack...that's how it felt to me anyway.
