That one nightmare,
Leaves me shaking,
Sweat on brow,
My body quaking.
Hands clutch sheets,
My breathing shallow,
Look in mirror:
Flesh so sallow.
Wish for sleep,
Yet it's escaping,
Inside my head,
Dark things are shaping.
Demons, warlocks,
Witches, wizards,
Caught up neurones,
Caught in blizzards.
Brain on fire,
Needing sleep now,
Want go drift off,
Don't know how...
