Creaks In The Night

Folder: 
Improv 2002

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
