Open Doors

Somewhere...
Deep inside me...

A ... doorway had been left open
Not gaping wide...just cracked a bit
enough to let a draft in...

enough to let...the unseen by most
find its way .... into me

Those silent and stealthy things
That leave shadows in the back of your mind
and leave trails of fear... inside your dreams

Leaving a chill that can never be soothed
as I stay wrapped in blankets nuzzling my head
down into the soft heat of my bed...

As I see  shadows creep...inside my twilight
becoming a tangible ... palpable thing
Making my ...eyes sting
As I feel myself become encased in a cold
static electricity....

I can not break free
Especially when what I fear...

Is coming... from inside me
