fingers drag acrossÌýÌý

skin, nails drawingÌýÌý

stark white linesÌý

fear has made itselfÌýÌý

at home, as it achesÌýÌý

in your chest-Ìý

tears fall, tracingÌýÌý

a path down clammyÌýÌý

flesh, the salty tasteÌýÌý

pangs on cracked lipsÌý

it is the witching hour,Ìý

the clock has struckÌýÌý

twelve, and the moonÌýÌý

glows from the spaceÌýÌý

between the rust-riddenÌýÌý

bars of the window-Ìý

its half-crescent eyeÌý

watching from theÌýÌý

dark, as the blacknessÌý

that surroundsÌýÌý

allows it to shineÌýÌý

bright- preying onÌýÌý

fear, on the shrill soundÌý

of a wrenching screamÌý

a stolen, gasping breathÌý

on the sleepless nightÌý

it preys.Ìý
