Thoughts of the Mind


Closed eyes

Darkness

They can see you

Look left!

They can hear you

Look right! 

Nothing there

Cold breath crawls in your ear

Tunr Around! 

Did you see that?

They heard you 

They saw you

Do you smell that?

Breathe in 

The smell of fear, guilt

Why'd you do that?

We see you

We hear you

Trapped

I see you 

Look left! 

I hear you

Look right!

Did you hear that? 

Turn around

You see it

Face to face

It's here

Turn around 

Let go

You saw it 

You heard it 

You are it

Quiet 

Nothingness
