eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

i lie down and close my eyes and got consumed by recurring nightmares. I lived out scenes from Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. They were after me, trying to delete me from your memories. I couldn't reach you. I woke up over and over again, a dozen times over 2 hours, head spinning and feeling suffocated. Each time I close my eyes again, they were instantly onto me. It was so real. I keep checking my phone for you to rescue me. You didn't. Sank back into the torturing chamber that I was too tired to resist. In between the surreal moments I messaged you, in a daze, for real, i saw it in my outbox. I am here, where are you, I said. Did they intercept the message? And all those before that? What have they done to you over a single night? Two days' worth of sleep and fatigue was scared away in that gruesome two hours spell. I finally kicked myself up and gasped for air, the thin oxygen-less air that pervades and seeks harbour in my room like a heavy cloud that storms in uninvited and refuses to dissipate. Where's the eternal sunshine?
