Nightmares

Asleep in the night
The light of the moon
Souls on the move
Chase me here
There
And beyond
I run
Slowly
Fear at my heels
What happens
Should I be caught
Waiting not
Evil gains
Gasping breath
Pounding heart
They never tire
Up the stairs
No walls protect
Stars twinkle
Far below
Can’t surrender
Jump I must
Falling to death
Or maybe Hell
Startled awake
Sweaty bed
Out of breath
Only a dream
Or was it real
Dare I sleep
And find out
