Woke in the middle of the night,
eyes drowsy and mind unclear.
What woke me up?
Was it the wind,
or was it a glare.
Oh, but I'm just too tired to care.
Go back to sleep.
Go back to sleep...
...Something is wrong.
I am unable to sleep.
Shut my dusty eyes,
but I feel other eyes in the air.
Watching me with thoughts of death so near.
Who is this morbid intruder?
Is he even real?
How did he get in here?
And why does he cause me so much fear?
Suddenly his presence is so much more real,
sucking the air from my lungs.
Forcing me to widen my eyes and gasp for air.
but I'm paralyzed in all of me.
All i can see is the wall so near.
Help me.
Help me...
Now laugher floods my ears.
Engouh evil to deafen God's ears.
But so familiar is the sound.
Mom? Dad?
Are you there now?
Do you hide behind my back,
chuckling plans of death
through each gasp of air you jack.
Don't hurt me.
Don't hurt me...
But in my mind I know that's a foolish thought.
Nonetheless,
I pray for my mind not to be cut short.
Panic inside me bubbles in my paralyzed shell.
So volatile.
So volatile...
I can feel a single tear
stalking down my cheek.
The only movable part of me.
Still I cannot catch a glimpse,
for my back is turned,
face toward the wall.
The stabbing laughter continues
like the hysterical group of hyenas.
Only now strands of phrases are thrown
out of the brawl.
Curses planned for me
and death is in them all.
Help me.
Help me...
Still I am paralyzed.
But suddenly I explode.
The voices climax,
only to an echo.
I explode,
I can move.
Gasping for much needed air,
I scan the room for the shadow figure.
Nothing. No one at all.
Still I can hear the evil echoes,
the echoe of my heart still near.
Someone was here.
Maybe Satan,
with eyes of death so near.

*old write*

Love is only an excuse to hurt and to get hurt... Knowledge brings ye fear.
