You came in through the window outside the wind was howling
You chose this night because my heart was calling
You brought a sense of calm that put my body back at ease
But for my spine
It pierced through my sheets
As I watch you move
You parasite
As you call my name in the middle of the night
You’re not leave x3
For when I wake my bodies aching as the days shift to gray
And I’ve seen your light
But I fear I will never see the same
After I watched you move
You parasite
You’re creeping in my nightmares
Every night
You’re not leave x2
… You brought a sense of calm that put my body back at ease
But for my spine
It pierced through my sheets

With hands clasped tight
You lead me out there
Into the lush green garden
With the sweet spring air
You walked ahead
As I followed suit
Catching the light off your eyes as I’m listening
To all the warm words you speak as I try to comprehend
Intently processing the metaphors you wave and bend
Down the stone steps
As the air is singing
Stay the same
But there he stands
In a suit of black
With the air splitting into
Fragment frames
With his back to us I cannot mistake
The overwhelming smell of death that now engulfs this place
As I look to you and you try to mask you’re
Body’s quakes
The trembling of your hand, Shakes my body to its core
And to the stale plagued air
That killed the spring before
As he shifts his weight and he starts to move
Obscured face of a crooked man
As he turns towards us
There’s no way I can deny
That if I saw his face
Reality would subside
Frozen there as we slowly watch him rotate
Frame by frame x5
Infant fear swells my mind
As I cry please wake up
Infant fear swells my mind as I cry
I jolt up in my bed voltage running down my arms
I felt every vein constrict as I try to reform
My spine contorting back as I try to pry
My eyes open
And there I lay drenched in sweat
Trying to shake that
Obscured face of a crooked man

The Lure

My stagnant house creeks and moans
As I sit up from my body
In my doorway you stand all alone
With your posture beckoning
I left myself and fallow you down the hall
Each step feels so enticing
In this moment I’m not alone
As long as you’re here with me
Into my Livingroom then round the bend
This moment feels so familiar
As we approach the front door
I am snared
In a coronal haze
And I see him there
Standing over my body as I
Try to grasp for air
With my out starched arms
My spirit is entangled in your web
As I lay peacefully in my bed
And I’m trying to break through
Also trying to save you
Now you are gone
I realize this was the plan all along
And I see him there
Reaching out for my body but my
Persistence won’t adhere
Determination save me
Forcefully as I break free
Stumbled in whole again as I wake up

You linger
You’re presence still haunts my mind
You hover
Like the moon in the day time
And I know you parasite
You will always reside
I saw your lies the easy out you tried to provide was just a disguise
I peered so deep into that void and fell inside but I survived
Inertia as I free fall ill stabilize my eyes to the night
I, I’m not as empty as you thought inside
There is a fire lying dormant
I unknowingly tried to hide
As you try to
Douse my flames with hallow words to ease my pain
You are the hunter
You led me out here
You laid these traps out
It’s the most dangerous games we play
Breath deep inhale
No longer does the smell of death plague the air
I’ve seen the other side know I know true fear
With that I know now
I never want to peer
In to that void again
You presence will always haunt my mind
You hover like the moon in the day light
You parasite will always reside but I survived
