Waking-A Series of Haiku

Sheets around my chest
Darkness thick and smothering
Heat suffocates me

Sweat slick on my spine
It streams across my back
River down my neck

Eyes open in fear
Heart-beat heavy at my breast
Body stiff with dread

Feel like I’m floating
Heavy weight across my chest
I am sinking deep

Noise is so soundless
Will not echo from my lips
Will my voice be heard?

Sleep is coming
I teeter just on the brink
I wish not to fall

I fear returning
I know it cannot be true
But I terror still
