My mind distracted, so many what if’s, so many what about’s, so many just what, and when’s, my mind distracted, sleep wasn’t a friend, I miss those nights. For now, sleep visits once again with it the nightmares of a world so far from my own, yet so connected.
Walking a path, to a home, newly built, one with many rooms,
Asked my thoughts, I enter a strange building, into a hallway, with a corridor to my left,
In front of me, a open archway, with a dipped area,
Asked what would I do with this, I smile and say a pool to dip your feet, surrounded by trees,
*Lets go down the corridor* A voice speaks beside me, no person, no face, just a voice.
Walking, I see rooms ahead, I make suggestions, yet something doesn’t feel right,
My suggestions aimed at the voice, echoing in a empty space, void of life,
Flickering dusk light coming through windows spaced randomly throughout the corridor,
Opening a door, I smile, state this would be a beautiful bedroom, maybe one for guests,
I walk to the next, I open it, I find myself on a long beam, nothing below me,
I hear a noise, so loud, a noise coming from above,
I look up, I see what look’s similar to an loft hatch, so much noise,
My heart thumping, I realise I need to stop whatever was the other side,
I see it start to open, smoke, and light creeping through the gap,
I reach up to try and close it, but my strength alone isn’t enough,
I call for help, a body appears near me, no face, no identity,
Together we try and force this hatch closed, yet forces against us,
We struggle as arms reach through, trying to grab, trying to escape,
Screams fill the space surrounding me, I couldn’t run,
Yet I could not hold any longer, I question what is best to do,
I find myself in a dark corridor, the loft hatch behind me,
I run, but I find myself running on the spot, until I am surrounded by 4 walls,
I lash out, I call out, nothing but the sound of my own voice returning,
Suddenly a hand clamps over my mouth, silencing my screams,
Thrown to the floor, my arms up, trying to push the hand away,
My strength leaving my soul, My body relents to the assault about to enter my world,
I kick out once more, I open my eye’s, I see my room,
I see my world, not the world in my dream’s,
Confused, I reach out to the body beside me,
Feeling the warmth of my husband sleeping beside me,
I lay back down, heart beating fast, willing a dark oblivion of nothing to over take me
Is this my today, am I back to where I strangely find comfort in the dark?
