Predator

Recurring dreams

Nightmarish escapism
Haunted whispers

Resounding

Through these bones.

Blood rushing

Inside the pathways

Of my veins.

Heart pulsating

Heaving bosom

Louder, faster,

Yet so cold.

All consuming

Fear and dread,

Twisted laughter  

Constant drooling.

I wait as

The door swings open,

Enter monster

Green eyed,

Lamb disguised

In wolf’s skin,

Beast who comes

To eat my flesh.

Only hope is to survive,

Before my nemesis

Comes to wake me,

Please don’t let him

Take me alive.
