Scared Of The Dark?
4 January, 2005
Author: Mike
I lay awake, can't sleep at night.
Under the covers, holding them tight.
Trying but failing to hide ffrom the sight
Of the dark shadows caushing me fright.
Closer and closer, slowly they come.
I'll stay right here, there's no need to run.
They'll stay with me and have their 'fun'
Until the morning and the rising of the sun.
My heart and soul they try to take.
My eyes shut tightly until they ache.
My wekened will they try to break.
Their friendly smiles nothing but fake.

| Holly (82.34.160.81) -- Sunday, April 10 2005, 04:45 am You told me only today that you can't write about insomnia, yet this is completely about insomnia. 'Cause it's evidently about more than just the dark. It seems also to be about the things in your mind that must keep you awake. That's what it sounded like to me, since I have insomnia. Btw I'm TERRIFIED of the dark :P |
