I can see you in my sleep.
Who knew you were so sneaky?
Creeping in with the sunlight.
Or hiding in the endless night.
(I can't escape)
You're a monster,
Hidden behind a pretty face.
A horrid madness,
Covered in white lace.
You're inescapable.
Why can't I run?
You're unbreakable.
Why can't I defeat you?
I hear that noise again.
Where is it coming from?
A creak as my door turns.
The last breath starts to burn.
(I can't breathe)
Slowly the door turns wide.
No time to hide.
Standing there with haunting eyes.
I hope this dream dies.
You've taken friends and family,
And now you've come for me.
Taking all for Death to reap.
Prepping us for the eternal sleep.
(I can't wake)
You're inescapable.
I can't do this alone.
You're unbreakable.
My body isn't yours to own.
I am the foe
That falls to few
I can ruin all
I can ruin you
Let me in
And I'll crush your soul
Put your body into a hole
Ever the darkest affliction
I am addiction.
You've taken friends and family,
ReplyDeleteAnd now you've come for me.
I like your response to this.
A powerful poem, Chris. I held my breath as I read it.
