Nightmares
Falling into an abyss of nightmares, the world just spins around me as I fall,
Colors, images, memories, it all blurs around me
I can’t see anymore
My eyes are open, I feel nothing
It’s just an eternal empty void
I close my eyes hoping to escape my current twisted reality
As my eyelids start to close I feel a sharp pain sting through my back
A loud THUD and a resounding BANG echo all around me
I’ve hit a hard surface, but I still cannot see
Suddenly, a light shines on my face
It is not warm, it is not inviting,
It is cold and penetrating
I can see now
There is a ringing in my ears, a repetitive shrill sound
I can see now but there’s nothing around
I’m laying here, on the cold stone floor,
With this awful white light making me feel sore
My other senses are awakening
I can smell again
It smells rotten, like something is dying
I can smell again, the heavy scent of death lurking all around me
My body is shivering, my teeth are chattering,
I have been scraping at the floor,
Clawing at my skin, I did not sense it till now
The familiar smell of blood reaches me once again
Each precious ruby red bead that drops from my hand,
Is simply dripping, inviting death to come closer
I turn my head slowly to the sound of footsteps,
Deep, heavy thuds approaching me
I watched and waited, for the apparition to come out of the darkness
When nothing happened I turned my head back to my hand
And counted the beautiful drops of blood,
besmirching the pristine cement
One by one by
One by one...
What a beautiful sensation
~
I don’t know how long it has been
Time is meaningless and infinite
My eyes are closed, I don’t remember closing them
As a matter of fact, I don’t remember anything at all
