Why does the room chill when he enters?
I feel so cold sitting here
I’m filled with a confusing fear
How can he really be so evil?
This night is darker than normal
My mind is clouded with this empty feeling
I feel my self losing hold of reality
I can’t see through this haze
I shudder to think of what will happen next
On this night the moon turns red
I need to hide
But where shall I go
When he is inside my head
Screaming, pounding, he threatens my sanity
My arms are blue,
My eyes are colored black
I tremble at his devilish touch
Why can’t I get away?
If you came to my window
You’d see me lying here
Afraid to move
Chained to these walls by my own fear
I cannot last much longer
That much is clear
When will I be able to breathe freely?
If he ever lets me be
I’m afraid
I will have already lost my sanity
This night is darker than normal
His eyes seem to be glowing red
By the time the sun does rise
I’m afraid that I will already be dead
There is no light coming from my little window
You must not have come to set me free
I shed a tear before he takes his leave
Nobody told me
That this light I see
Would go on for an eternity
The sunrise is so beautiful I can hardly stand to glide away
But where I’m headed
Is more beautiful than any day
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll fly a kite
In heaven's clear blue skies

Only one editorial remark: very last line, "heaven's" needs an apostrophe.
This is certainly not what I was expecting from the title (but that's okay). This poem starts out intense and doesn't really let up until the end...I think the last stanza is similar to a chord that resolves dissonant notes at the end of a song.
I would be interested to know what inspired this write. I particularly liked lines 7 & 8; I know I've felt like that before.
Anyway, nice write. Thanks for sharing this with us -
Amazing. Beautifully dark.
"Maybe tomorrow I'll fly a kite in heaven's clear blue skies."
