Sleeping With The Enemy

My nights are like a cascade of horror

Sleeping in fear of a stifled horizon

By the hands of darkness upon my chest

And like a baby I am defenceless

Her shadow crawls upon like a jaguar

Her silence strangles every breath in me

I suffocate in a noiseless dungeon

I’m moulded into a suppressing sun

My bed is like a grave and I’m a stone

Soundless in stillness, I always take a rest

Hoping my last breath will not be tonight

Sleeping with the asthma as sad as night
