Wide awake in a room
swallowed by darkness,
my body is cloaked
with the haunting grasps
of a memory.
A recognition of a bruise,
though the damage is spectral,
the revival of the thought
hurts my corporal vessel.
Causing apparitions of a dark figure,
slowly emerging to my body.
trying to hold me as it envelops
its ghastly form.
It whispers words
that took long to forget,
blurring my mind
as images conspire around me,
rebirthed in the flames in which
i burned them to death.
Slowly, i weaken
until i am fully constricted,
giving in to the thought,
to the figure, to the memory.
Falling asleep.
Tt trying to st ay awak e but
i d rath errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr fall asleep
t haan to be haunted
for theeeerest of the nig h t .
