you're lying awake

the room is different 

the walls dissolve

replaced by sky

horizon blackening

twilight beckoning

as the clouds are stretching wide

stars still shining

little holes

that light is clawing to get through

but hope is shifting

with the shadows 

that are drifting on the ceiling as you move



(shh.. just close your eyes and go to sleep

there's nothing to be afraid of..)



are you awake?

sour thoughts are dancing now

all around your head

shoulders shake, chattering teeth

the cold wind rips the covers from your bed

the apparition

the eyes are digging

heart is pounding

eyelids will not close

your voice is failing

the screams derailing

and she stands so near to you



and nothing is sweeter

than the songs you're seeing

begging for the colder hand she hides

floating

flowing

her soul is hunting

glimmer

shimmer

white lights breaking

and fluid cries

she is reaching

screeching

imploring

seething

and the haunting

hurting

spilling

no one knows

a kiss-like smile that leaves you beguiled

fading darkness and the whispers of a ghost
