It slowly looks at me, rears its head and I know – its awake,its here with me again, for it wakes when I strir.
I don’t try to remember anymore, or to understand this need that I embrace so fully next to my soul, onoly that i must hide it. protect it from my mind and those that will it from me. I must hide it inside , lock it away from everyone. everyone is someone and no one is me.
I don’t want to wake my mind, sleeping so peacefully, so unaware – I slowly slip away as not to ripple thought. It need not know where I go.
It keeps its eyes on me as I go, my midnight guard . It knows what I’m up to. It will not wake my mind, yet it knows me well.
I know that it watches me, it thinks about me, it understands me – if I ignore it, hopefully it will rid itself of me.
