The Time is Stopping

I can feel the eyes, feel not see them
Im overreacting, I must be! No one's ever been there
Nobody's there I condemn
I need to stop being aware but I am far to aware

It's 9 pm
There's knocking.. knocking?! Why's there knocking?!
I can't tell what I feel, stressed? Paranoid? I need to leave.
I need to lock the doors
I did! I did lock them right?
So why do I feel like their unlocking?

12 am
Tapping? Why is there tapping!?
Is it at the Window or at the Door?
It's everywhere
my heart starts to race my panic is unwrapping.
Someone's here, my fear fills the air

1:30 am
There are whispers
I cover my ears, I should be able to hear them
Buts loud, so much louder
I can hear it's whispers
I need to leave but my body is out of energy
I'm out of energy

2:50 am
Everything went silent
Are they still in the room?
Hiding under the blankets?
What if they hurt me? Are they violent?
I'm done for! It's over!
Drop me under in a velvety casket

And as I awake
It happens again
I feel my life is at stake
They will come back
They will, but when?
