Question:"nightmare"

I made love to Lilith fair,
and danced a zombie's trance.
My fingers ran through Satans hair,
and broke his dead advance.

I'm still alive yet somehow dead,
awake yet sound asleep.
I scream for help, I feel dread,
begging, I whimper and weep.

The hotter the fire, the greater the lust,
I break away thinking I'm free.
But slowly now I turn to dust,
the deal on which we agreed.

The quiet shattered by my scream,
I gasp and clutch for air.
This is not some child's dream,
Satan's come to claim what's his.

He laughs at me as if a child,
my bargaining brings his wrath.
I've been locked away and filed,
never to be seen again.

For some odd reason this appeals to me tonight! I don't think you have a block at all, or if you do, you can sure pull great imagery and shivers out of that block! Thanks for this one, it is good.
