3 Stages

Fingertips rapping on a window pane,
Footsteps stir into the night.
Whispers in shadow, in sleep I would fain.
Sense of someone lingering near my bed out of sight.

Laughter erupts out of empty room,
Crippled by fear incensed to see.
Repeat in phenomena casts its gloom,
Relentless abuse, I am not free.

Abandoned notion I seek to settle,
Heartbeat a flutter I wander in grim,
Bones a shiver and my mind is brittle,
I search for meaning behind woken sin.

Sickening feeling,
Imprisoned in time,
Seeing through eyes,
No longer mine.
Thoughts in change,
Master puppeteer,
Takes its charge,
Malefic sincere.
Callous in thought,
Mere symbiont in grasp,
Only exorcism may break its clasp.
