Sitting alone in an empty house, thinking silently to myself, Was that a tap against my window? Was that a voice outside my door? I move slowly in and out of rooms, turning on all lights
I need to see whats hidden in every corner, nothing will be hidden in shadow...
I lock all doors and peer outside the window, my heart racing, fearing I will see a face on the other side of that window, or a dark figure standing on the porch
Relief washes over me and I turn away from the window, looking back into the house, watching for any movement out of the corner of my eye, I see nothing, I hear nothing
I sit down in a chair, nervous about having my back towards a window
Am I paranoid? Maybe
Am I sane? Only slightly
I am scared of the initial shock and horror that will pass through my body if what I see...If what I see ... are the same images trapped inside my head, trapped inside my dreams
Please someone come rescue me from the fear I myself have made
Make the hours seem like minutes so that sunlight will stream through the darkness and lighten my gloomy thoughts ... Rescue me |
