there's something in my heart
there's something between my mind and soul
tearing me apart.
I can see the light so clearly
I can almost touch the flame
I can smell and taste the terror
And I know I am to blame.
Beads of sweat drip down my head
My arms and legs are shaking
And now I'm using all my strength
To keep the life the creatures taking.
Now as I lie here quiet and still
I have no need of hesitation
The creature stalks my room again
ONCE MORE a visitation
The fear has set me solid
No tears that I can weep
I simply lie here wide-awake
Afraid to go to sleep.
