Soft blankets

Plush pillows

Light hair spread

Like rays of sun

Limbs so careless

The room so silent

Eyelids flicker

Inky irises stare into nothing

Sweat spills down tense skin

The dreamer lies so still

Heart like a galloping horse

Claustrophobic in her rib cage

Eyes open and unfocused

Breath rapid and unsteady

She pulls her hair

As if to drag herself

Tears spill onto the duvet

Fears spill onto the duvet
