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
