War Underneath

Night Terrors

Split, the solid teeth

Became powder,

The smooth end

Rubbed against my hand.

My other hand

Pressed the button,

As water, to my cup

It ran.

Cold and warm

Swished together,

Clear and fog

Swirled without.

There I popped

My tablets,

Capsules,

To my mouth,

And from my hand.

Perched, my lips

Touched the water,

On the rims

I swallowed.

Drowsy wait,

Fall into shadows,

Silhouettes,

I blend.

Body sensing,

Eerie clouds,

Diffusing from

My pillow.

Cannot sleep,

Into the deep,

There,

I keep on turning.

Hell, I shout into the night,

Hell, I throw them under.

Fears, I curl my legs up tight,

Fears, It is my thunder.

Covered lids, inside I cry,

When will I find you?

-n-i-n-g next to my light,

I wake, and sleep,

And wonder.

Hell, I scream and punch the ground,

I send monsters forever,

Never again, will they arise,

I pray, more minutes to an hour.

God, please...

I have night terrors.
