          "Choking On Nightmares"

226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhJzrgMDf3

A silent slumber is what I wish,

To close my eyes and sail to the land of sleep.

A dark world behind my eyelids,

A dream I cannot find, only a nightmare.

I want to scream, but only gargle on my own blood.

From the darkness, a damp dead tree branch I grasp,

Pulling myself up from an open grave,

Realizing soon a spider, bigger than my hand, is on my face.

It bites my once-closed eyes,

Ripping from my face, I am blind and cannot scream.

No one knows I'm here; I can't call for help.

No one would hear me as I am choking on nightmares.

One by one and all together, I am trapped here,

Cannot escape with wings I have grown,

As they are made from stone, like the marker that bears my name.

Rest in peace, I cannot, as I am choking on nightmares.

Neither kin nor clergyman can rescue me from here.

Trapped, my mind is a prison for my restless spirit,

Set adrift, and no one will know I've died and am now buried here.

A century has passed, my once vibrant young vessel

Has drifted through life, now sunken to a wet, cold grave,

Taken over by maggots and various worms.

No one will know nor care of my demise,

As they never knew I was choking on nightmares.
