It lurks and it hovers
In the dark, out of sight
You hide neath the covers
Completely consumed by your fright
You can’t turn around
Immense fear leaves you frozen
The deafening sounds
As you know you’ve been chosen
The creak of the door
And slight tap on the window
Footsteps on the floor
Has you hugging your pillow
The tingle on your skin
And that breath on your neck
Was that a whispering wind
Or something else at your back
The sudden urge to explore
To see what’s waiting around
But the ultimate horror
Keeps your eyes on the ground
Allowing the unknown
To fully capture your mind
Your body releases a grown
While the heart in you sighs
No matter how intense the need
You simply cannot turn your head
While the ache in you bleeds
You stay still, in your bed
Whatever is waiting
Calling you to surrender
Do not take the bait
Knowing is not always the answer
