Nightmares

By johnbevan17

 As midnight closed in,Fear from within plays with my mind at night,time after time darkness around, and shadows moved on the ground,
Yet no opne in sight,
Dare not make a sound,or your soul will be damned,To the demons who lie waiting,
just out of sight,They wait there watching,for your soul to consume,as they begin to scratch and bite,
Wardrobes open a ajar,floorboards creaking,
as a horn from a car,stops you from falling asleep,
You mumble please leave me,
I'm feeling so sleepy,

Your fighting so hard not to fall,and your parents do call,Light off to the hall,and the nightmares begin,
The shadows become creepy,
Shadowy figures creep by,In the corner of your eye,Teeth as white as the moon,moving in to seal your tomb,The quilts over your head,movement from under the bed,

You begin to cry,Demons they're waiting for you to start shaking,cause they know,
you're a soul for the taking,before the new dawn is breaking.
So before you go to sleep, Close your wardrobe door, check your bed, and keep the demons out of your head.
Pray your soul to keep,
before the floor boards creek.

    Oh my, *chills*. This was beautifully dark and haunting. That's the word. Haunting. Excellent John. Another excellently written piece. So glad to see you posting again. Missed you.
