a voice in the house
distant yet clear
calling
not for me
sweetheart wake up
someone is at the door

time stops
darkness rules
sweetheart wake up
sweetheart wake up
and then the shadowy figure
enters
hovers over me

i can feel a gentle
ghastly touch
the side of my face
my body
petrified with fear
sweetheart
wake up

all i can muster
to reach so near
shaking
nearly breaking

and my love is here
now
my love is real
all my love
is all i feel
now

but the terror
lingers
as only my love
brings me back
calls my name

still
nothing
is the same

Peace/Love
