Nightmare

near terrors of horror



needless fear leaving you



numb long into the dark 



not knowing how it forms



night of screams and wet tears



nervous preventing sleep 



nonstop causing distress

Great descriptions of a nightmare, Eve! Did you mean to say "leaving" instead of "living" in the second line? Just wondering...good luck in the contest! :)
