trembling, at the edge of the last day before the plunge
going to forget the past and those painful echoes
the day after tomorrow. the new day, tomorrow, will
be filled with fantasies, of expectations and dull dreams
i had a nightmare the other night, on the edge of sleep.
i was paralysed in my blankets to see the black presence,
of, a form staring with no eyes or face into mine, and then
it ripped into my head shapeless dark and empty
awoke! i stumbled through my mind and my room to get away
things only got darker, everything beyond my walls into nothing
and then my body was stabbed by my messes on the floor
no pain. no feeling. no movement. more, and more weight
off... to get away, to climb the stairs. the leftovers dragged me
down into the floor, all that was left was to crawl, or fade
so i slipped nowhere near i could reach out for the emptiness
outside. tripping on a shadow my heartbeat slowed down
the ground become closer dark as ever, thinking it was all lost..
i plunged into the lowest that is my floor scattered with the past
my fall slowed down. more fearful than emptying myself into the ground,
was having time come still, and the inevitable crash stretch to eternity..
awoke. hell, i have to get up these stairs, no. no. stop stabbing..
awoke. ok this time i won't let.. no, the haze and the dark were heavy
awoke. the pillows are drowning me i hear laughter, i sense the presence
awoke. stairs, more stairs, i was above. the presence multiplied.
who? who are all these people crowding my home, why the laughter.
no i am not drunk, i am being chased by the fear. chased by the dark.
i can't walk straight, who are these people? the walls and faces bending
i know that face over there, he laughs into my gaze, my stumble
you, you, and you, i know you, i know your you inside you. you know..
you know, me. you cannot see me though, i cannot keep you from warping
and this one, this one here, in my home wrenching out my heart,
to let it slip away is to let myself awake and stumble, stumble from fear
so i will wake and stumble into you, you are not fear and shadows in my mind.
