Eyes Wide Open

I sit at the window every night. Will they come...they just might! Once before they took me away Just where that was is hard to say. It felt just like a scary dream Waking up with a horrible scream ! Those distorted faces all looking down As their 'feelers' were feeling all around. Where was this place they took me to "So far away" is all I knew. Then like magic in my head I was right back in my bed. Sleepless nights are mine forever Can't relax not now not ever! What if they come back when I lay down I can't do that, I can't sleep sound. Sitting at the window every single night With fear in my gut and a mind filled with fright. so... I sit at the window Every night !
