Eyes in the dark stare at me, they pretend not to look when I notice them.

What scares me more, the fact that I do not know who the eyes belong to, or why they look at me with such intense hate?

I won’t be sleeping tonight, as I fear I will never wake the morning to come.

The eyes in the dark stare at me, and I pray they remain as such.

My room is illuminated by a faint but noticeable glow,
It isn’t a lamp or a nightlight, but a small rectangular device on my bedside cabinet.

The once silent world is disturbed by a ‘ping’, another notification from the online world,
I let the light fade away and drift back to sleep, I wish to remain in reality, at least for tonight.

A singular feather falls from the heavens,
landing on my head.

How lucky am I to have witnessed such an event,
Blessed by the finest feather of an angels wings.

I often dream of porcelain skies,
It’s smooth and fragile surfaces enticing me to thoughts of better times.

With a glass hammer I break the sky,
And, as the hammer breaks in my hand and tears at my flesh, I dye the porcelain a deep crimson red.

My knees buckle under the pressure of imaginary weight.

An un-fathomable burden conjured by my mind.

Who knew nothing could weigh so much?
