Asleep Unsound

Curled up
an inviting fuzzy blanket enveloped around me
warm, cozy, my eyes closed
drifting into sleep
to dreamland

Took a wrong turn

A large, strong man
knees on my chest
one hand holding my hands above my head
the other over my nose and mouth

can't breathe
no air
pain

And then I wake up, hearing myself gasp a bit like a scream

I put the kettle on
my hands shaking
a cup of tea
then back to bed

Please, Sleep, no more dreams like that tonight
