Act IV: The Laughing Coffin

Months gone by
And every single night
I have the same dream
Where you’re there
And then you’re not
Its like you fade away
Your body seperates
How much longer will I be
Forced to relive that misery?
She’s trying to communicate
Am I asleep?
Or am I awake?
I’m under attack
Looking in a broken mirror
All I know is that
I am not that man
That man isn’t me
Its like I’m haunted
Haunted by those memories
Haunted by the visions
Haunted by the noises
Haunted by the demons
And all their distant voices
Walking past a window and
In the reflection all I see
Is a shadow and not the man
I know staring back at me
Is that who I talked to?
Is that who I confronted?
Who I pulled from the darkness?
You’re not the one I wanted!
Lights flickering, noises in the night
Never sleeping.
This can’t be right
Its getting worse and worse
Its to the point, its like I’m cursed.
I’m…
Haunted
I’ve come to the conclusion that it can’t be her at all
But something darker still waiting to come forth
When I closed my eyes and woke up in this dream
She was standing there again separating at the seams
I cried out but like always it was too late
I ran over to her body, watching it seperate
And when it finally cleared, I couldn’t believe
That the thing underneath that darkness was me
Cause I’m haunted
