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
