What do you fear?
Deep down in the part of you that you never show
That slithers, seeking through your dreams
Leaving you moaning softly in your sleep trapped shroud
Grasping your heart with sharp ended talons
Running bony fingers up and down your spine
in those moments of unconscious reality
What do you fear?
That you bury deep and deny without knowing
That whispers unheard in your conscious thought
Thrilling your scraped bare nerves in the small quiet hours
Returning to scatter your comfort to the jaws of bone cold dread
Taking pieces of your certainty back to its lair to gnaw upon
Look in the mirror...
