Insomnia

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
