SLEEPLESS NIGHT

I hear whispers, but don't see who's whispering,

Deep panting and heavy breathing,

My fear of the dark has become crippling.

I have discovered that something resides here

Here in the darkness,

It's under my skin

At the back of my neck

This sleeplessness is upsetting.

The eerie chill crawls up my spine

An unsettling pain resides in my chest

My stomach groans from restlessness

It's scratching on the walls, whispering my name...

My hands are sweaty and I’m shaking,

There is an eerie familiarity

I'm losing touch with reality

This life beyond the darkness,

Is not plain to see

Whoever’s there

What do you want from me?
