Lyrics
I’m awake.
I think.
I just can’t
check.
My eyes are open
The room is right
The ceiling breathes
In borrowed light
The air is heavy
On my chest
Like something’s testing
What’s left
I try to swallow
Nothing goes
My body’s here
But it won’t obey
Every nerve is screaming
“Not yet”
But nothing changes
Anyway
I don’t hear footsteps
I don’t need proof
The space beside the bed
Is no longer empty
It’s standing where I can’t move
Close enough to feel
I don’t see it
I know it
It’s standing where I can’t move
Waiting out my breath
I don’t fight
I can’t
The room remembers
How it should look
But something’s wrong
With the angles
The dark has weight now
It leans in
Like it’s learning
My shape
I try to scream
My mouth stays closed
My name gets stuck
Behind my teeth
If this is still my body
Why won’t it
Listen to me
I don’t feel hands
I feel pressure
Like the moment before
Something happens
It’s standing where I can’t move
Right where I would run
I don’t know
How long it’s been
It’s standing where I can’t move
Patient and exact
Like it knows
I’ll wake up last
Don’t look
Don’t blink
Don’t let it notice
You noticing it
The fear isn’t sudden
It settles
Like it’s always
Been here
I’m breathing.
It’s closer.
It’s standing where I can’t move
Inside the room I know
Every second stretches
Too slow
It’s standing where I can’t move
Not touching me yet
Just waiting
For my body
To forget
I move again.
The room is empty.
I don’t check.
