I dont know

I'm waiting in my bed
and sleep refuses to come
light flickers at the stairs
a shiver creeps up my spine
my sheets become soaked in perspiration
i curl up deep in my blankets
and fake the slumber i seemed to have missed
whispered foot steps enter my room
i wish to scream and cry but i am paralyzed
my blankets are pulled back
and that horrible secret
is whispered again
in the dark and tangled sheets
