Not Alone

I open my eyes

Everythings a blur

All this time I thought they were lies

My thoughts were amateur

I lay in bed

My body was frozen

As the horror raced through my head

Why was I chosen

My husband lay next to me

He was out cold

How could this be

What was about to unfold

I glanced at the doorway

He was so clear

As tall as the ceiling black eyes, slim, and grey

The tall man is here

I close my eyes in fear

I yell to my husband

My voice he could not hear

In a situation I could not comprehend

The top of the doorway

His head began to lower

No longer in this house could I stay

As everything started to move slower

In my mind there was no doubt

I tried to scream

I just wanted out

Then a woke from my dream
