A Twin

The downpour of rain hits my window like debris in a bad storm I'm reminded of the night that everything came to an end The silhouette of a human stands at the foot of my bed A familiar sight that I'm used to by now (Used to by now) It's presence has petrified me into paralysis Fear has kept me locked in for the ride I await the inevitable ugliness of the dark to set in My vision is blurry and I can barely open my eyes I can see through the truth, but I thrive in the liеs Every dream I have lеads me to the same place And I'm back here staring you in the face Your hold on me is cold to the touch The only warmth I feel is the blood pumping in my body As the adrenaline keeps me sane for just a few more minutes But every second is like an hour The night is long And there's no sign of the light appearing in this lifetime I fear that my time on this plain of earth has come to its closure My body regains it's composure I can barely move, but it's a start I manage to sit myself upright as the figure draws closer By now I'm ice cold and the warmth I felt Has turned to a searing pain under my skin The weight of my guilt has crushed my chest And I struggle to catch my last few breaths The abyss in front of me grabs me by the neck And the pain of an exit wound sets into my chest I jolt up, my eyes are open and my vision is clear The light is blinding, even when it isn't there Even when it isn't there
