Alone with my thoughts

I feel them coming for me,

I hear them pounding on my door,

I hear my thoughts whisper to me-

   'open up, or we might explode'

For days they've been haunting 

My nights into terrible dreams

Alone in the night,

Alone in those dreams,

I was alone with my screams.

Now, they start chasing

So I run,

As they chase me into a lone wilderness.

I tried to hide,

To shut them out

But they hunted me down, beyond doubt.

And pursued me deeper and deeper,

Into the gaping abyss

Until I lost my own whereabouts.

Now, as I lay here I don't know where I am, or

Who I am...?

Yet I know I'm in a place between sleep and awake,

Yet I know I am being chased.

So I wait here all alone

And wait for the day to break.

Alone in my room,

Alone in my bed.

But I am never alone in my head.

Again, I hear my thoughts whisper in my ear,

"Open the door, my dear"

Is this Deja vu striking again?

Or is the chase yet to begin?

So I bid farewell to you,

The hunt's beginning all over again.

For I know I'll be switching up the lanes soon,

Going  round in circles,

 I know, my mind's doomed.

But don't you worry 'bout me, friend,

Though,

My thoughts run wild,

But I stay still,

As I drown my soul in a bottle of tonic and gin.
