It starts with tapping on the walls
then spreads amongst the sheets
where the fabrics crawl
to where the princess sleeps
and in slumber she shall turn
while she makes sense of her dreams
and in time she will learn
all is not as it seems
so as the darkness spews
and the echoes snarl and bark
the night tells of its news
the revelations stark
that the girl will dream in vain
she'll never find her peace
for the blackness still remains
ill at ease beneath.
