We are the night, the monster beneath your bed

We are the ones who follow your every breath

We are the ones whose light you no longer feel

Forgive us, we only long to watch you rest

Uncertain gaze, quiet, still

Rigid with fear, you tremble

And you can tell someone is here

It wrecks your sleep, it hurts you

From other planes

We came to see you grow

You cannot hear my voice

But please know how much I loved you

It breaks my heart to leave you

To fuel your deepest fears

To know that you’d be better on your own

Lay your head to rest and we’ll disappear

Wandering the earth we will hold your dear

Grieving in desperate ways

Never caressing your face again

Silent, we’ll not speak your name again

You won’t even know who we were

Olivia!

As you were.
