note: Written on March 8, 2024 // a poem of a character pov, not mine 😭

Before sleep takes me
The fuzzy creeping shadow
Taunts with dances filled with glee
My foggy brain plays tricks
As the shadow moved skillfully
I wondered
Is it true?
And hoped
The shadow wouldn't taint me with its impurity
To grasp hold of me
To suffocate me and throw me deep
Into the abyss

I wished to sink in the clouds of dreams
I wished for it to take me away
Away from the shadow, that lurked
That grew stronger with rooms dimmed
That grew stronger in the night
