Nightmare

The sun has set
The ground is shadowed
All is quiet
It begins

My heart pounding faster and faster
A scene flashes before my eyes
Too fast for me to see
Blood covers it all

I awake suddenly
Hearing an ear piercing scream
I wait for it to stop
Then I realize it is my own

Drenched in cold sweat
Tossing and turning for the rest of the night
Maybe you can see...
His words still haunt me
