Lying awake
Drawing shapes on the ceiling
Waiting for day to break
Disrupted by restless thoughts
And the sounds of the shifting house
Anxious breathing
Becoming my worst enemy
Waiting for blue to break the shadows that bind this place
Waiting for sleep to take
Shuddering at the sound of shuffling from the hallway
As if I'm under a sinister gaze
Straining my eyes in it's wake
Is there something watching me?
The moment slipping away
Numbing of the body
Quelling of the conscious mind
Staring into darkness
Shadows enveloping the edges of my sight
Flickered movement within the frame
The haunt of a shapeless thing
