There is no escape

Ankle twists, falling down
Eyes wide, tears running down my cheeks
Helpless now, he's here

He whispers of death
Knife gleaming as it plunges
Hot breath on my face

Pain and he smiles
Blood cascades down, so cold now
Last breath leaving me

(not quite the same ones I wrote in grade school :p )

I like this one.

...

tossing and turning
a landscape of broken men
bearing down on me

sweat hits my forehead
all claws and teeth surround me
a rusty floorboard

remnants of harsh dreams
stumble numbly through my day
give me strength to sleep

black blood
spiritual disease

the real thing bites harder
are you her now
are you here now

these are some great haikus - someone should publish the amazing authors of HDC!

"Bedtime"

boxsprings and mattress
sturdy wooden frame surrounds
but what waits beneath
