Nightmares

I'm dreading the moment I fall asleep
The night so silent and still not even a peep 
Nightmares engulf my thoughts like parasites
Taking each and every fear to newer heights
The sandman has brought me a vivid dream so horrid and gruesome it makes me scream 
Brutal violence an agonizing tortures all I see
This isn't real I tell myself.. Or could it be?  
I feel my sanity start to fade in and out
throat starts to tighten I can't even shout
Suddenly I snap awake scared an shaken 
Never thought from this hellish dream I'd awaken
