Ladies in Black Theme Post: Spirit

This Ladies in Black theme post is "inspired by a song."  I was having a little trouble at first, I have to admit. I was combing through some old files, and I remembered that I once wrote a little poem inspired by the song, "Spirit" by Bauhaus. I love the song, and I had it stuck in my head for ages until I came up with my own poem that has a similar rhythm to the song.

Now normally I don't share my writing online, but this is an exception. It was inspired sleep paralysis that I used to endure often. I find it to be great fuel for writing. Here you go. It's called 'My Silver Noose' It's not my best work, but I like it. I hope whoever reads this finds it enjoyable as well. 

My Silver Noose

Will tonight I be a puppet

Hanging from a thread

With dead eyes thrashing violently,

My vessel weighted lead?

Will you be with me,

Plain for me to see?

My dry eyes struck with terror

From a shadow over me.

You’re choking out the moon.

As you move closer,

Standing by my bed,

You sway slowly, peering down,

Leaning towards my head.

May I reach out and touch you,

Or breathe you in and swoon?

Will I cut these silver strings of mine

And hang you from the moon?

Beware my silver noose.
