"I Call Them My Night Ghosts..."

At night they whisper
During the day they rest

Now I see
Why they scream in glee

Those screams
Chasing me in my dreams

Oh, please
Make them go
Oh, please
Let me watch them leave

The shaking shoulders
My skin growing colder

My throat aches
And my knees crumble
How can they
Enjoy my suffering?

My eyelids are heavy
My chest is empty
So far away
Are the days where I could stay
Out there in sun

Now the wetness drowns my face
Helplessly I try to push them away
Unsurely I gather my fears
Gratefully I lay down

But then again
Just like that
They are back

Laying next to me
And here I am
Being laughed at by my Gods

How could they?
Who are they?

I call them my nightghosts...
