Curtains

By happilydepressed

Curtains over the window hang
Curtains to conceal what's behind the pane

The oustide looking in
In vain the ritual will begin

I look out my window and there a dark figure stood
I can try to hide but i don't think I could

My breath chills and my heart turns to stone
I'm here all myself but not alone

What is it you truly desire
Glaring at me with eyes of fire

I close the curtains and close my eyes
But it stares through my window, my curtains, and my guise

I pull the curtains back once more
And there it stands just like before

Should i invite it in
Does it want t be my friend

Do i have the power or will to deny
Is this my sign I'm passing by

Curtains fall and the window opens wide
I step out of it and find nothing outside

I look back into that bloody room where i left my mind behind the curtains
And on the otherside of the window is all that ascertains
