I lay in bed at night
shadows creep out
and fill my room
with darkness
I lie here
awake
Too afraid of what would happen
if i were to fall asleep
Outside my bedroom walls
the desolate floors
go untouched
Not one step taken
amongst them
Yet creak after creak
after creak
is heard
It gets louder and louder
closer and closer
to my door
I await the coming terror
An eerie silence
falls over all
and suddenly
it's gone
But the creaking of the desolate floors
replays in my mind
till dawn breaks
Not one minute of sleep
is slept
Not one second of rest
was to come of it
Just a paranoid mind
trying to find its way back
to sanity
