I shake you awake
In the middle of the night
Begging you to listen.
Attempting to shield you from the darkness
But only drawing it closer
With my paranoia.
Whisper in your ear
Look at me
Meet my eyes
Stop staring blankly at the ceiling.
You bite your lip
Not stopping until it bleeds
Finger tapping on the bed sheets.
Turn towards me
Turn towards the wall
Toss and turn
Turn and toss.
The darkness
Seeps in
Through the cracks
That you worked so hard
To hide.
My presence brings only fear.
I'm sorry.
