I never thought about it once
The shadow in my room
It sat there
Motionless
I sat here
Motionless
I see it speaking quietly
But I can't hear it
It comes closer
Lurking over my body
It whispers in my ear
Its words, like wisps of smoke
It's supposed to fear me
For what I am
A feral human
Standing upon this horrid land
But it still stands there
Staring into my soul
With eyes of pride
Like a hard-earned prize
That it worked ever so valiantly
To roll life's dice
To end up with me
On the other side
Which then I realize
It's not here for my demise
And I lay there in my bed
Staring into the room across from mine
The shadow walking to the bed within
Standing in front of my sister's sleeping body
A motherly figure
A body just like mine
Whispering into the ear of my sister
"Love you, and Goodnight"
