Backache

There’s a shadow in the corner of my room

Getting louder under every new moon

Sometimes it sits at the end of my bed

Im always aching with bruises on my neck

Take it away

My back ache

You’ve had your fun

But now I’m done

I feel it pulling, tugging at my sheets

When it goes quiet I can hear it speak

Bending and twisting every bone in my back

Feasting on my muscles for its midnight snack

Please don’t let me wake

Another day

With this back ache
