Escape The Night Terrors
When I sleep
Im in hell
Reliving a nightmare
Over and over
Of trying to escape you
But I can't break free
Panic sets in
I can't breathe
I try to run
But my body is
Paralyzed by fear
In my head
I keep telling you
I don't want to be here
I don't love you
Then you try and touch me
My body cringes
At just the thought
As I jerk awake
And lay here
Heart racing
Trying to catch my breath
Reminding myself
Its not real
It's just a nightmare
Im in hell
Reliving a nightmare
Over and over
Of trying to escape you
But I can't break free
Panic sets in
I can't breathe
I try to run
But my body is
Paralyzed by fear
In my head
I keep telling you
I don't want to be here
I don't love you
Then you try and touch me
My body cringes
At just the thought
As I jerk awake
And lay here
Heart racing
Trying to catch my breath
Reminding myself
Its not real
It's just a nightmare

nicely written piece my fellow poet.... its such a shame that our sub-conscience mind keeps reliving nightmares that occur in real life and replaying them for us to see again over and over in our sleep.... very good poem... makes me think of Freddy Krueger....
