My hopes dreams and even fears lie
Hanging in the balance
The shadows dance on my wall tormenting me
Teasing me
Making me see things that are not really there
The flickers get bigger
The figures stronger
Leave me more scared
More helpless
Cowering in my bed like a two year old
The figures continue their fight on my wall
Making my wanting to cry out for my daddy
Closer, bigger, meaner they appear
Flickering figures on my wall
Reach for me
Then suddenly I am plunged into darkness
The candle has burned itself out

Hanging in the balance

In the flickering of the light

Hanging in the balance
The shadows dance on my wall tormenting me
Teasing me
Making me see things that are not really there

More helpless
Cowering in my bed like a two year old
The figures continue their fight on my wall
Making my wanting to cry out for my daddy
