Nightmares

A poem about a nightmare I keep having, heavily dramatized of course ;)

As the light is consumed

I beg for forgiveness

What did I do this time

In order to deserve this?

Staring up at the ceiling

I plead with my mind

I'm afraid of what I'll see

If I surrender to the night

I get trapped in the darkness

Dancing with demons

I thought I had shaken

I've lost the battle but still, 

I'm not winning this war.

A dream sequence begins

I observe your face

Your beauty slightly taken

By your slow yet fatal demise

You stare into space

A deep and longing look

A stabbing sensation

Seems I've been cut with glass

I am invisible

Sudden pain, it cuts

You've murdered me silently

A sin of the flesh

Our hands touch...

ELECTRICITY.

It seeps through my skin

Sets my body alight

As a match does a flame

The fire fills the skies

Her stare never failing

That grin on her face

Talk to me

Why can't you just talk to me?

A dream or a nightmare?

I'll let you decide

Wear a smile that isn't mine

The wounds in which I confide

Her head arises

Departs, a novel left unsaid

Unaware she's forced a 'stranger'

To the ground

Irreversibly dead

Diminishing a stranger through the power of your dreams, hmn . . . How cryptic. I particularly like how the poem flows, starting off as the protagonist to a dream of being invisible, although not per se. Surprisingly, a touch sparks emotions and you have went on to not only reveal yourself, but to strike upon another, even if accidentally. Thought provoking indeed, I like this.

It's actually a real dream I had. About someone who used to care about me but in the dream they ignore me and treat me like a stranger, hence 'stranger' and the pain it causes. Thanks for the review :)
