Death by Dreams
By emeraldgrace
Im walking down
that old grey street
the same one every nite
the fog is thick
a stillness hangs
I grip about me tight
no people seen
yet shrieks I hear
deep within my head
I start to run
my body trembling
I thrash upon the bed
a blackend mist
of fear and pain
surrounds and drags me under
I fight to breath
but it persists
as silent as a hunter
my heart beats fast
vision darkens
I lose my grip my hold
when they try to waken me
my lips are blue
my skin is cold

This reminds me of a story I read once that described a similar scene. I really like the emotion that reflects from your words and the atmosphere you've created here.
