It's dark and i can't sleep
Turning and turning i feel so sick
I try to drown in mama's snores
Even get lost in big sister's dreams
My eyes roam, i see nothing
Suddenly i sense something
I stiffen,my heart flips over
I tell my ears it's not time to play
What is that sound slowly rising?
I am not alone,the knowledge sinks in
Watching....waiting
A wave of fear engulfs me
I tremble
I try to cry out, my voice fails me
Is that a figure i see?
O eyes! Do not play tricks
My head feels light
Imaginary stars loom over me
High beyond the clouds i start to float
Away from my bed
Away from the thing
My shoulders hurt real bad
Like it would fall off its sockets
My eyes open to big sister shaking me sore
What had happened?
Dawn already?
