Breathe Me

It's always hardest at night

I'm alone with just the sound

Of breathing

Of night bugs

Of NOTHING

 

The nothingness scares me

Frightening away the courage I've borrowed

 

I could escape into my own head

Into dreams

But thats where the real demons lie

 

Sleep lurks at the edge of my consciousness

Flirting with dangerous chaos

The monsters growl from the darkness

Daring me to come in

Inviting me to play

 

Scars and memories blend into each other

I am lost, breathless

Darkness, I surrender

I quit

              Take me.

We can certainly be our own worst enemy when we begin to think so much, and the still of the night is the time we do it most.
