Light can keep monsters away,
And now that your lights off...
I find it odd how strangely quick
My sniffles turn to full blown cough
Like death - the forms... they slowly creep
They work their way into my sleep
Into my eyes
Into my head
They haunt the room
Surround the bed.
They are the fears of mine - now yours
They seep into my aching pores
And drive my mind into a craze
Horror struck, my glossy gaze
But, perhaps the worst of all!
How calm
How peacefull
Through it all...
The distant stare almost a smile
But gruesome all the while
