• 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
