Take Me With You

Can they hear me?
I see them passing through the shadows
Over doorways, holding corners
Taunting always
Draw me nearer
Pull me closer
Take me with you

I hear the wind howling for you
Against my skin, gnawing through
I feel my body growing roots
Sleepily they guide you

I hate the way I’m broken
I hate the way it claws you
You know that I don’t want to
I hate the way this voice sounds
Pouring out of my mouth
Poison through my teeth
