There's a shadow on a ceiling I don't dare to look that way Is this real? Am I dreaming? Not having any sleep again There's a human shape in corner I don't dare to watch that spot I'm afraid, it might deform it I'm frightened, it might not I feel a hand touching my shoulder I don't dare believe it's true From head to toe, I'm getting colder The rabbit-hole, I'm coming through I look around like a spaceman So scared to look, but have to know If you are here, I beg you, face me The earth is circling down below And now I see you, real and clear Though in this world you don't exist I dare you to keep coming here I have no power to resist And as all outlines are blurred Other shapes come into view Once again I've been transferred To this cryptic world of You I recognize all the surroundings Your room, I've been so many times Why was I so afraid of finding What mind of rational denies The truth, just as beauty, is in the eyes of beholder My eyes are finally closing, as I lean on your shoulder...

When I was in my early teens, I had an imaginary friend; it's the closest definition I can find for what was happening to me. Usually, he was just watching over me, but at times when a situation in my house became too critical, he came over to take me to his place. There I could feel safe and take a much-needed rest while he was reading, he had a lot of books, or play piano. This lasted for several years, during the hardest time of my life.
