Oh

it was just a dream

I am bound to my bed as if by duty

Any movement made is lost to effort

Then I see as you enter the corner of my eye

I hold my breath hoping my eyes are dancing to the darkness

Your spiny claws begin to play with my heart

As my insides twist with fear

"Why can't I move" I shout out to nothing

I feel pricks and pins as you make your way to my face

The cheshire grin plastered back as if in pain

Meets my gaze

My heart begins to beat as if trying to take flight

This is it

I'm done

A shock blazes through my being

As good morning America plays in the background and as my alarm rings me to reality

Oh

Ok

It was just a dream

I love poetry. I love writing it and I love inhaling it. Writing is a form of therapy for me and expressing it and sharing it brings me joy. I hope you enjoy partaking in my joy. :)
