Down to Sleep

Now I lay me down to sleepIn my dreams the demons creepNight surrounds on every sideDesperate need to run and hideCrawling through a land of blackShock and chill run down my backMuscles tense and shake with fearHeartbeat pounding in my earDrops of sweat bead down my browFeel their hate approaching now
Brimstone stanch about the airCaught within their Hellish lairTry to stay away from sightGlowing eyes that pierce the nightBurning ozone, iron tasteNot a second left to wastePress my body to the ashFeign I cannot feel it slashRusted needles pierce my skinLoosing poison deep within
Crashing footsteps close behindScreeching whispers in my mindSomething watching, something thereFeel the glaring, piercing stareFeel the claws around my legStare into its jaws and begFace of broken, splintered skullsPain grows sharp as vision dullsLowered into gaping mawDarkness was the last I saw
I lay in my stretcher bedCrash survivor, nearly deadWrapped in bandage, wracked with painHypodermics  in my veinMedicine to keep me outElse in agony I'd shoutBy my bedside, parents cryWatch their only child diePray the Lord my soul to takeFrom my dreams, I'll never wake
