|| The Stomach of Midnight ||

While the world around me sleeps
My thoughts take time to reap
What actions of my past have sown
In the garden where my nightmares grow

The dark unlocks the vault that keeps
All the things that bring me to my knees
I dream and yet, my eyes never close
In a cavern of whispers, I maunder alone

Terror's hunters stalk their prey
Unsettling thoughts may give you away
Hide your eyes and silence your head
Lest they find you and cut the heart from your chest

The blackened sky shows hints of grey
As the morbid hours succumb to day
When the world awakens, they may find me dead
Because of the monsters that paint the walls red
