Nightime Torment

I cried last night

And I don’t know why

My bed was drenched

In tears unnamed.

Help me Daddy

Tell me what I did wrong

I’m sitting here in unsung fear

Slowly reinforcing

The walls built around me

In curlicues and spirals

The lovely maze of my

Unlovely mind

And ghosts I cannot acknowledge

Wander the halls of my defense

Examining the skeletons I

Forgot to hide in my closet

And in the center I lie

In wait

For what prince-

Charming or no-

Should interest himself in my plight.

But if none were

To come, I shall wither away

Till night becomes day

And I will cry

And never say why.
