The Last Slumber- A Poem

The Last Slumber
K.N. Lee 

The window fogs

Drips with mist

I don't want to get out of bed

Nightmares and night scares

The demons swarm my head

I peel my eyelids open

And meet with the eerie black

It's cold

Simply frigid

But there is no turning back

I climb to my knees and bow

The ghost taps my shoulder

And whispers

You're ready now...

I slowly look up

Shiver

And cover my ears

Glance back at my body and swallow fresh tears
