A world of darkness waits outside your door
Your fears burst to life with each creak of the floor
Shadows shift and catch your gaze
Your mind is fogged; try to clear the haze
Moonlight creeps in through the cracks in the shutters
‘Your not alone’ the breeze whispers and mutters
With nerves on edge, your mind plays tricks
Is that a hand at the window? Or a bunch of twisted sticks
Each noise and sound chills you to the bones
A stair creaks, the heavy door moans
You chastise yourself; you’re just being dumb
A figure in the doorway, your mind goes numb
Close your eyes, your palms start to sweat
‘Get a grip’ you scold, but can do nothing but fret
Your eyes snap open, then even more wide
The figure is gone and there’s no place to hide
Roll over on your shoulder and rest your weary head
It was all in your mind, you’re safe and warm in your bed
Moonlight glints and makes the knife gleam
With a flash makes contact, leaving no time to scream…
