Nocturnal Gaze

My closet holds a secret I know that I can't keep It whispers my name at night As I fall Asleep

When I hear that voice I creep…

For forty days And Forty nights I crawl into your bed For forty days And forty nights You calm the beast inside my head

The rattle of chains Haunts my room Most every single night I pull the covers Across my eyes But the ghosts are in my mind

And I reach for you even though I'm blind

I do not dread the silence When you hold me near Like a child you cover me Smothering my fear
