Lovely Bit of Nightmare Fuel

Waking up, covered in sweat

Aphids crawl in every crevice

Dirt blocking out my vision

The little I can see

Is black, bleary and blurry

Where am I, what is this?

There's something sniffing

Sniffing around my ears

Nibbling at the edges

Playfully even, ticklish

Rats, mice or something

Maybe ferrets

There's that smell

Polecat, ferret smell

Worms slither in my hair

Trying to break free

Can't move my arms

Can't move my legs

Are they strapped down?

Are they weighed down?

By the sand and dirt

That covers my body

From my head to toes

Does it even matter?

I can't move

I can't escape

Stuck in this hell

Stuck in this prison

It feels like a container

Or box, or maybe coffin?

Why did i just think coffin?

Now I can't

Can't think of anything else

But coffin, confining me

My nose is itchy, dammit

That seems unimportant

But the itch is aggavating

Stuck in this hell

Stuck in this prison

By

Who know who

Who knows what

For what, for why

I could speak

If I could open my lips

My jaw is sore

Even if I could

Could I vocalise

What I'm feeling

How I'm reeling

In terror

Maybe it's time

Time to embrace it

Give in

Let it take me

Whatever it is

Whoever it is

Fighting seems

Pointless

Hopeless

In vain

How can it be

that it is hot

And also cold

There is something else

Spiders? scorpions

Crawling and biting or picking

At my skin and flesh

Why won't I wake up?

Is this even a dream?

Or a neverending nightmare

I am not even sure

if I can tell whether I...

Am awake or not

Why is it getting warmer?

Why is it getting darker?

Thanks for reading!

Just had an idea, to just write a lovely bit of nightmare fuel. I am not as sorry as I should be.

For different pieces, why not have a look at these:
