I lie awake

  Beneath these stars

  Wishing heaven would take

  Away these scars

  The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  An illusory sheen

  Makes my mind toyed

  An unheard keen

  Echoes from the void

  Is something there?

  I do not know

  An uncanny affair

  Causes a fevered flow

  Awake not quite

  Neither asleep

  This hallowed Midnight

  Gives me the creeps
