I need you to rescue me from this.

"Hide and Seek" by Imogen Heap is the song I'm referring to here.

 

Listening to some Imogen Heap

and wishing only for heavy sleep

I’ll sit and ponder too much again

and shake for lack of soothing friend

who bestows such loving caresses,

and brushes back my tatted tresses,

that worries cease and peace breaks in,

a blanket to cover the frightful din

of thought run rampant and soul that’s shrieking

lost in a landscape of secret-keeping.

 

Tearing through the dusty air

the grey dust and silence cling to hair

that’s suddenly too heavy to carry

but there is no time left to tarry

the star-spangled darkness yet looms

rushing in from newly unlocked rooms

and whispers forward, close to me

and breathes its coldness quietly,

confident and unassuming

it seeps into my body, blooming

into sorrow and deepest loss,

soft and muted, personal chaos.

 

See that I need your rescue,

come retrieve me from the refuse

of discarded mental images, so frightening,

and harsh discordant sounds, still lingering.

I’ll need you to keep my cold at bay.

I love this. You did very well with the visuals, and I just really loved it over all.

Very visual piece, it seemed to start off as some sort of insomnia craziness , then it became so much more, I could see this as I read it
Nice work
thank you for entering my contest

I have to agree that it is amazing imagery. Beautiful and dark are the portraits that you cast with your words. I could feel every line; every syllable. I hope that you are rescued from the cold. :)
