Nightmare

Dark
         shapes
       twist and
      crawl in the
    corners of my
   mind. Silent
    whispers fill
     the air, cold
    and choking.
     A breath
     catches, then
     slips away as
    I reach for the
   light that’s too
    far to touch.
     Eyes watch
       from the
     depths of the
     void. I can’t
      move, can’t
      scream. I'm
    trapped inside
    the suffocating
      storm of my
     own fear, lost
   in a place where
     shadows never
     leave and hope
       fades to dark.
