In the Dark

hello? hello?

Is there anybody there?

Nothing.

Silence.

I pull the blankets

up to my neck

I look into the dark,

nothing looks back.

hello? hello?

Nothing still,

just the faint outlines

of the room in the black.

And a strange feeling

I'm not alone,

I'm the only one home,

what do I feel in my bones?

I don't move.

I barely breathe.

I can feel my skin tighten

I can hear my heart beat.
