intrusive thoughts/where do they go?

Where do they go when the light of morning becomes the darkest night?
Do they go in the night in the healing of the spirit of day?
What do they tell me when the greatest of times becomes the very worst?
Do they speak in the tongue of the distorted shadows under my blankets?
Why do they appear when the cloud above me becomes the enemy?
Do they embody the frame of the hell of my capricious tribulation?

Where do they go?  When they appear,
what do they tell me?  Why do they come?
Where do they go, when they're done in this
ongoing scourging? What do they tell me,
when they whisper in my ear? Why do they
have to hurt me like this?  Where do they go?
