Nightmare

i felt a hot rush run to my toes
i felt so hot i wanted to rip off my clothes

i felt somebodies breathe breathing on me
i felt something tickle, itching my knee

i felt i was stuck i coudnt move or speak
i felt so hungry, my body so weak

i felt someones touch, my hair stood on end
i felt so useless as i couldnt defend

I felt my feet were stuck there was no getting away
I felt my eyelids closing, pray pray pray

i felt my skin burning i wanted to scream
i jumped up out of bed, it was only a dream
