Sleep

I lay asleep shivering to the bones,
Hoping to escape the malevolent phantoms
whom haunt my closet and bowels of my bed.
Their will, their strength, infest my mind.
I question my mentality, assuming insanity.
Deeper I fall into the great divide,
The abyss of my soul and nothing more.
The light of hope eludes my side,
What is there to do? I cannot hide.
