The Nightmare

The windows rattled one by one
The darkness cracked enough for me to see
As a shadow moved with stealthy desire

And I ran

And locked windows and doors tight
Raced against an evil intrusion

Fingers fumbled at the locks
Pulled at door knobs, ensured they would not open
Terror coursed through my bloodstream

And still he came

Pullws at each door
Unspoken demands to open them

I stumbled over a lack of time
One mistake is all it took to invite him in
Assurances to not invade were empty promises

He left

But returned with a smile
The joke was on me and he came to visit.

My eyes opened to the darkness
Fingers clumsily fumbled for the light
It shone upon my fear as I hid in tangled bedding.

well, my heart has slowed down a little now

I've been having strange dreams lately but can't remember any of them...probably best
