#afraidofthedark
i'm afraid to be awake at night alone
not because of the darkness in my room or the monsters under my bed
but the darkness in my heart and the monsters in my head

You have left me alone,
surrounded by darkness,
my heart starts pounding,
my breath quickens,
palms slick with sweat.
I am cold...so cold.
A hair falls from my head,
hitting the floor,
a booming thud.
My old grandfathers clock
calls out time,
midnight has struck
a fearful chord deep
in my soul.
In my bed
there is no warm place
for me to hide…
you are away
(only for a short time).
Please come home,
so I can sleep.
Mysterious footsteps echo
down empty hallways
of our deserted home.
I am alone…
alone with whoever
(or whatever)
lurks in the shadows.
Unreasonable fear
pervades my being,
I wait for dawn.
Waiting for light,
my mind plays tricks.
I cannot sleep,
mysterious sounds whisper
thunderclaps in my room.
Please come home,
so I can sleep.
Please….
come home.

Is anyone else afraid
Of the monster of the dark?
He comes out every night
And preys upon my heart.
