Boogeyman Requiem
Darkness enfolding me, laying in bed.
Cool crisp sheets touch. Softness cradling head.
Sandman's hand reaching for his due embrace.
Nighttime's chilling air kissing at my face.
Denied dreams requiem, and the rest it brings.
Trying to ignore as anguished thought sings.
Giving up hope. Another night sans sleep.
Desperate frustration making me weep.
Three days late. Reality is slipping.
Can't concentrate. My sanity tipping.
An empty vessel. Shadow become man.
Mind numbing thoughts chatter. Lonely day's span.
Meet the boogeyman who scares me at dusk.
Insomnia, his name. Takes all but husk.
-Angel Fatale-
