Sit back and wait
Unearthly spirits
Reveal your shape
As my terror turns to sleep
Familiar smell of roses
They tried to speak
And then their cold arms wrapped around my neck
Laid me down to sleep and ceremoniously left
The haunting beasts with evil hearts
Who bit their nails and ground their teeth
Who felt at home within this place
It's crumbling walls and blistered paint
Who in the night stood over me
Witnessed the fear upon my face
Who sought to nurture and nourish me
Left me to rest without a trace
