The sun brought along schedules and spreadsheets
Mundane as they may sound, with these, her fears she cheats.
Kept her mind occupied, her fears at bay.
Enthusiasm of meeting people, sometimes real, mostly fake, got her through the day.
Cometh the midnight, she closes her eyes tight.
No escaping the frightful fears, to the ceiling and beyond, it’s a lonely night.
Mind at unrest, body tossing around in the bed.
The possibility of this turning into a permanent scenario, she lay scared.
Rain slashing against the pane, freakish sounds abuzz, her eyes open wide
She curls up on the right, with no one to hold on the other side.
This thought of ending up alone played like a horror scene.
Few minutes, sometimes longer, never does it go unseen.
Switched on the button, the old tube light in her room shone.
Giving Ally, the comfort and familiarity of the known.
Falls into a slumber finally, in the company of the light
Its effect was dim, but it gave her a sense of might.
