Taken from this world,
They decimate my dreams,
Entwining themselves in my body,
No longer living normally,
Forever looking over ones shoulder.
The take over; one Friday night,
Sitting alone, a knock on the window,
Peering out, shaking with anxiety,
Nothing there, just the wind,
The lights begin to flicker;
And again, the tap.
Body racked with something;
Not quite explainable,
"Is anyone there? Hello?"
The prickle of the senses,
The hair on the back of the neck.
Awakened in a cold sweat,
The decimated dreams,
Really my nightmares of a Friday night.

I thought this was very intense, as we don't know if it's a dream, reality or even something from another world. Very interesting and different, you made the title your own.

You created a very powerful scene, filled of paranoia, worry and anxiety.
I hope you don't suffer from these however, they aren't that nice! (:
Hope you're okay, sorry I haven't commented in a while.
Take good care.
Sophie.
