The lights go out
I lay so still
The house moves
As I hear the sounds
Darkness surrounds me
Like a thick blanket
Covering me up
Keeping my mind warm
The weight of the night
Holding me down
Making my body numb
My eyes only move
As I search through the nothingness
The silence grabs my eyelids
Pulling them tight
I take a breath
It is time
