Not to be true

Not all nightmares occur when you are asleep.
I lived through one, awake.
Eyes wide open, mouth wide open.
Staring.
Gasping for air that never came.
A guttural howl escaped my lips and bounced off the stars.
I'm sure all the angels bore witness to me that night,
screaming for this not to be true.
