Unsettling
The light from under your bedroom door
It bleeds golden streams
Spilling out onto the floor
Making a bridge of light
We're both connected.
You and me.
Your room is so close by.
Can I come in?
It's locked.
And I've tried knocking.
I can hear you crying through the door.
Is it me?
Why don't you let me in?
I can help you.
You have your secrets
I'll keep mine.
I'll come back later.
I'm back.
Compose yourself.
There's nothing to fear
It's only the house settling.
I'm only down the hallway
Getting closer now
The boards creak
I hear your heart beat faster
Don't be afraid
It's only me.
And I've always been here
Since the day you moved in
Waiting for someone like you
To share the house with me.
