fauxcroft

I felt you within my presence
I felt you in the room
I heard you walking round the bed
But I was unable to move
I sensed that you were not of this world
You were ethereal, a spirit of some kind
I also knew this was not a trick or illusion of the mind.
I could not sense if you were good
I couldn’t sense if you were bad
But the fact you meant me no harm
I guess is what kept me calm.
I was stuck in a paralysis
Stuck between two worlds
Laying in there neither awake nor asleep
Feeling tormented somehow.
I wanted to see you
To speak with you
But alas this was not to be
And when the time comes to pass you then released me.
Now I feel remorse that I missed this chance to ask some questions of you
Or just to sit and look and spend a few moments with you.
For I feel you were once family
Or that you always watched over me
But I can’t understand why when you entered the room you chose to paralyse me.
