Behind Closed Eyes

Deja Vu

By Joanne MacdermottPublished 7 years ago 1 min read

Behind closed eyes Deja vu. I've been here before. Have you been too?

Darkness a deep sensation of waves and manipulation.

Immersed in a inviting vibration.

Feel the energy suck me in, have nowhere to go, so I go straight in.

It's ok I like it here, one on one with the monster near.

Behind closed eyes in a dream like state.

Am I asleep or am I awake?

Burning light intensifies, electrical activity sparks fire flies.

Pulsating, alive within, feel the insects on my skin.

Surrounded by faces ever changing, shapeshifting all engaging.

Cold air, chill cuts through, icy breath, not from me... Then who?

Behind closed eyes Deja vu I've been here before.

Have you been too?

Blackened eyes is all I see, staring through the shadow me.

Drawn to them I magnetically pull, reflecting back all that's cruel.

Drowning can't get to air, so I go under I like it there.

See my body let it lay, rogues feasting on decay.

Soar through air shining light, floating on a one way ride.

Captivated a luminous night, turns to black and depletes my life.

Cloak of raven all over me, feel the bite vampire sting.

Draining, tiring thin, pulse weakened,

Take me in.

Intense flickering jabs like pins.

Blinding stabs leave cuts within.

Angels take me in your wings.

Can't wear the debt for all our sins.

Sleep a tormented tease,

Sandman dormant, then breeds disease.

Behind closed eyes Deja vu I've been here before. Have you been too?
