In My Room
"Strangely Art" Prompt challenge!
*
You crawl over my skin like a goosebump
blanket me with an unending chill
Playing dead in the shadows you lay slumped
while my nightmares and terrors you spill
All over the room like confetti
my fears sweetly release a thrill
That you get when I'm scared and sweaty
imaginations switched to overkill
I've surrounded myself with protection
but you use them in spite of myself
It's some kind of creepy connection
as they stir all about on my shelf
Sometimes they crawl under the covers
snuggle in to encourage my trust
Then you invade my dreams like a lover
I awaken covered in wanderlust
So tonight, kindly stay in the corner
let my restlessness rest at long last
I dread the feel of my heart's murmur
let us alone here at peace to relax

Another one to make one think.
