The shadows of doubt
dance precariously
around the edge
of reason
with open arms
they taunt me
to trust
them
and jump
head first into
the darkness
that surrounds them
only to find
reflected in their souless eyes
mine own
filled with tears
that hold my dreams
captive
prisoners of my own
fears
unable to move to think
I wake
once more
to watch the shadows dance
as daylight breaks
and sanity is lost amongst
the scatter cushions
of my sleepless
mind
