Tonight


Tonight I witnessed death first hand I was dreaming after a long day This time of night is always hard for me Reality mixes with fantasy I wasnt sure if I was awake or asleep But when I had woken you were right next to me A black figure with the yello eyes and teeth That glowing horable smile So close to me I felt sick I've seen this face before when I was younger But back then they were red as blood I screamed for help over and over again I kept yelling for my mom Now I dont know if it was a dream or my body forcing the words out of my mouth But all the figure did was smile and lay next to me Getting closer and closer I could feel my body go limp As if my soul was being taken from my body And before I knew it death was there At the edge of my bed I had enough I started to cry This was the end of my life But death took this creature next to me and left I woke up some time later In the corner of my bed Crying and screaming for my mom to come My phone light was on Apparently there was a block out that has gone on My mom came and tried to comfort me I just kept crying and was shaking so much I was scared I still am scared I couldnt speak and still dont want to This thing that was on my bed Will it come back for me? I cant sleep in peace..... I will stay up all night I will get rest when the sun comes out This is going to be a long night Pray for me please I dont want to death again Tonight

My work goes with the beat of how I feel to when I remember a memory I want to talk about it to random thoughts
