Another deep breath, while the moment chills the skin.
The slice of betrayal from memories within.
The whole disappears and I'm forced to watch
As the branches wilt and eventually fall off
An insomniac nightmare fueled on a fast.
A duck in the water, the calm will not last.
The Black beast returns and we ride to the past.
Trips to the shore or an early morning cast.
But as the focus sharpens and more images appear
Of fond family memories I once held so dear
Five on one bed and never so comfy
A vision I cherish tormenting me monthly
Locked out the room yet imprisoned in time
With a beast from the darkness and a family resigned.
