You await me, night after night
Deep in a dream
So much so that you are actually here
First, I hear the clawing
Relentlessly at the ceiling and walls
the scurrying of feet all around
You are everywhere, but nowhere
You are all around me filling all my senses
But I can’t find you
I can smell your stench
Rotting animals, and old lunch meat
Can I see it, your arachnid body
Stiff limbs, crunching with each movement
Your body, halts, and shakes
Unnatural, not human
You disappear
Returning into the darkness, gone
You fade away, into the void
Then boom
Out from the shadows you grab me
You latch on with your unyielding claws
Pulling yanking, clawing and teething
Chomping and feasting
Staring up at me with your hungry eyes
You fill me with agony
but I can’t Yell
Can’t scream for help
I feel all, everything
Every fiber, every ligament, every bone
Flesh to flesh
Pulled apart, ripped clean
Shoved into your jaws
Unyielding you feast until there is nothing but my eyes
As you take one last look into my soul
Your body transforms
But not into some hideous creature
Or some disturbing being
No
But my own face
This is the last thing I see
Before you rip out my eyes
And leave me in darkness
Once again.
