Night-mare

This poem was about a horrible nightmare where something that resembled are dark shadow was creeping towards me.

I lay, frozen.
Engulfed; the darkness creeps- overcasting my light.
I gurgle the words "help me" into the muffled night.
Hoping to thaw fear I clutch my safety in bed, not realizing what I fear most is in my head.

Author's Note

Watch the documentary on sleep paralysis "nightmare". This poem came to me one night after experiencing it myself.

I love your word choice. It describes a frightening image of all light being diminished all at once. I love it. My only correction is in spelling: girgle----> gurgle. Please keep writing I enjoy your work.
