Close your eyes, go to sleep...
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.
Just close your eyes, 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 nothings 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's reaching, screeching,
Imploring, seething.And the haunting, hurting, spilling...no-one knows.
A kiss-like smile that leaves you beguiled, fading
Darkness and the whisper of a ghost.
Shhh. There's nothing to be afraid of. Shhh.
