Sleep Demon

In simplest terms I am a nightmare. Pray! O—do not let us fall asleep! Stop—and witness me cut your ego Down to the bone where I shall feast Upon the blood of your conscience as a Vampire would until there remains Nothing but the raw opened flesh Of your shattered soul. I am the voice in your head— And we shall remain savage and As one entity which weighs heavy On your mind and punctures your Sanity. O—my darling—how I do love you so.
