Night terror

It comes at night
Tearing walls noiselessly so..
Writhing inside holes and nooks
All pervading and effervescent,
Near impossible stands to ebb its flow

Freezing my heartbeat
And dangling my life over the edge.
Making me yearn for times passed, long gone..
I can now to the devil my soul pledge.

Gripping my thoughts, not letting go,
Arresting my breath, the air stops to flow..
I shatter soundlessly as the dawn begins to show.
Resurrect when ‘Day’ earns my body but the thoughts never go.

This nightly terror is your very thought.
Funnily enough, the one which I never forgot.
