Nightmare Comes To Life

It's happened again..
They are all asleep..
But I'm awake and alone..
But not completely alone..
I can smell blood,
I can taste the blood..
I smell the metal...
I hear footsteps outside my door.
I push myself against my corner,
And cry silently in fear..
I'm more than afraid..
My heart races,
I fear that he can hear it
In the silence.
The door knob turns,
The door pops open then slowly
Creaks open enough to let himself in..
I hold my breath and begin
To shake..
I pray he will leave..
But he closes the door again..
He's in..
I hold on to myself
And try to
Convince myself it will
All be over soon,
And I'll find sleep..
I know I'm lying to myself...
There is no moon out tonight..
So nothing will show
Me where his shadow is,
Yet I know he's close..
He stops infront
Of me and looks down
At me as I bury
My head in my hands
Shaking with fear..
My blood turns to slush
And my heart drops
As he speaks
His cold unforgiving words.
He will not go easy tonight..
Red eyes look upon me, and
He brings his claws out.
He lashes his tongue,
And he seeps into me..
Everything grows
Dark.. I have no
Memory of this part..
I just remember waking
On the cruel concrete,
Surrounded by, what
I believe is my own blood.
My head aches and my wrists throbs..
Yes, my own blood
Is pooled around me..
Claw marks upon my back and
Arms.. It was another cruel
Night.. A living nightmare indeed.
I lay there with tears stinging
My eyes.. I need you...
My dreaded nightmare
Gets worse every night..
I'm afraid... One day..
I may not wake up
After this
Is over..
I may stay in my unwanted
Nightmare forever
Like he wants..
Forever in his world...


(Note: Sorry this is so long... And yes, that picture
IS of ME :P)
