Alone, confined to these walls
My company kept by the discomfort that overwhelms me
Screams echo through the halls
My heart pounds as my chest tightens
Clear eyes quickly succumb to visual distort
Falling to my knees
I must leave this room
Desparate cries for you
Are met by a somber gloom
I cry out for help but no one can hear my voice
I cry out for you, but you cannot hear my voice
the reaper sits back and watches
this is not his game to play
Awaken on a rocky mattress
My sense of strength quickly digress
Struggling to put myself on my feet
Fingers numb, racing heartbeat
Hands cupped in desparation
As the water escapes my fingers
Pumping through, coarsing through, irregular palpation
The impression of this memory, it lingers
The entity that plagues me
Is burrowed into my head
He is a dark silhouette
Standing at the foot of the bed
Shouts expelled through yellowed teeth
The black of his eyes
Engulf me in their darkness
