The Nightmare 1781 by Henry Fuseli


I lay and dream
of terror and it seems
that I will never awaken.
This demon that sits upon me
instills a fear that cannot mean
anything but that I will never be free.
I lay and dream
of death and I scream
in my head as I wish for forgiveness
from the lord as I slowly die 
but nobody knows the reason.
