Sinking into sleep

 

Eyes closed, I lay,

sleep not far away.

Sirens' call

singing to me.

Inviting me to fall.

Then suddenly a jolt,

room lurches.

Electricity crashes

like a lightning bolt

as arms start

to pull me deep.

My bed is devouring me

like a ravenously hungry beast.

Heart beats

out of rhythm.

I start to regret this decision.

 

The duvet covers me,

a funeral shroud

of angry billowing clouds.

Stormy sounds

as the arms grip tightly around.

Pulling me deeper down.

Body is rigid,

if I move

I'll shatter into pieces,

like fragile ice, or a glass mirror

with a cracked surface.

 

I see a vast chasm of mattress,

high sided, Icy chill pulling me.

Distressed,

not dressed for the occasion.

I feel hands press down on me,

like a hydraulic crusher,

pushing me further.

Lead weight, I feel lightheaded,

but my body aches

under the pressure.

 

The fingers tear

at my skin as I'm sinking.

Blood splits

through the wounds inflicted.

I can't make out my room,

or my own existence,

like a faded memory,

or a dream

way off in the distance.

The hands paw over my face,

I glance above one final time.

Through clawed fingers I see,

the love of mine,

her hands pressing down,

choking me.
