Impressionable Nightmares

Ever had that nightmare that is all impressions, where nothing seems clear?

Smoke filled room
Blinding flashing lights
Blaring noises
The sounds of fights
Breaking glass
Stabbing pain
Feeling lonely
Feeling shame
All alone
But in a crowd
Watching the world
Through a shroud
Hands pull
Nails rake
An overwhelming thirst
Water will not slake
Tears fall
No relief
Tears of pain
Tears of grief
Cant run
Cant get away
Cant talk
What would I say?
Eyes shut
Cant move
This is my fault
The voices approve
Wake up
Its too much
But your not here
For me to touch
Open my eyes
See only dark
The arrow shoots
Hits the mark
How much longer
Till your in my arms?
How much longer
Till I'm safe from harm?
