My Shadow

Bibbeck

Pain strikes, dagger sharp

Like needles penetrating through my heart.

A knife carving, digging deep

I yell, then I weep.

Am I dying

Alone in this gloom?

This blackness, coldness

Alone with my thoughts

Within the walls of my room.

It creeps

As I sleep

A chill running down my spine

A floating figure

A ghostly whine.

"Hello, who's there!?"

My voice answers me back

"It is I!"

    Good write, nightmares can be so shocking sometimes.

      Thanks Goldfinch. Too easy sometimes though for the mind to wander into the darkness when trying to escape from pressures in the light.
