Already In Your Head

You feel me before you wake A pressure on the sheets A warmth that knows your name I arrive when the world sleeps Born from midnight scripture Feared by monks and kings I cross the border of your breath On soft invisible wings They warned you of my hunger They wrote me into sin But legends never told you How gently I begin I wear the shape you crave I borrow every dream I do not take by force I enter what you leave I slip into your bed tonight Between your pulse and spine I feed on heat, I drink your fire Until the morning dies I am the hunger you invite The vow you never said You don’t wake up alone again I’m already in your head Ink and parchment tried to cage me Salt and prayer tried to bind But I live between your breaths And feed on want, not time They say I steal your life away That I leave you weak and pale But truth is softer than the myth I take what you exhale A pact unspoken, flesh to fate No contract, no command I bloom where longing opens doors And sleep takes your hand Succubus, they named me A warning wrapped in fear But every age keeps calling me When no one else is near I slip into your bed tonight Between your pulse and spine I feed on heat, I drink your fire Until the morning dies I am the hunger you invite The vow you never said You don’t wake up alone again I’m already in your head Already in your head Already in your head
