beautiful nightmare

So many around me,
Swarming me.
Engulfing me,
Suffocating me.

I can’t breathe,
Can’t see.
Blinded by darkness,
Haunted by fears.

They circle me,
Constantly lingering near me.
There’s no room,
For me to run.

I can’t escape this,
Disturbance.
I’m being plagued by nightmares,
Always prowling in my mind.

Claws scrap against walls,
Screeching fills my ears.
My ears ring,
My eyes water.

Spiders creep their way,
Down their invisible webs.
Their red piercing eyes,
Strike my soul.

Snakes slither around my feet,
Threatening to bite them.
Feeling their cool skin,
Sends chills up my spine.

A chill winding around my body,
Crushing my essence.
I’m over taken by,
Millions of Goosebumps.

Faceless beings envelop me,
Smothering me.
I try to scream,
But can’t find my voice.

The Things continue to encase me,
I sink lower and lower into obscurity.
The tricky spiders crawl across my body,
Swallowing it.

I look at one of the faceless beings,
And they almost smile.
Everything goes opaque,
And my terrors consume me.

Seeing nothing,
Feeling nothing.
In complete,
Isolation.
