*~*
I’m hiding in the darkest corners of my heart listening to things that go bump in my night knowing the monsters are there under the edge of my bed of sleeplessness waiting to pull me under waiting to devour me I see their invisible fingers I hear their deafening silence I feel their hot breathe on my frozen soul and I’m afraid afraid to go with them afraid to stay with myself I long for the lightI fear it will not come I can’t see you I can’t hear you I can’t feel you I don’t know where you are I don’t know how much longer I can hold on here in the black hole of my being deep within this abyss of my soul Can you see me in my blindness? Can you hear my silent screams? Can you feel my paralyzing fear? Do you know where I am? Can you find me?
