Fleeting noise
A fluttered glance
Did something rustle
Or fall by chance?
Is that a hand
Making shadows there
Or something else
Oh! I'm so scared!
Did I just hear
A monster's laugh
Or were those children
Walking past?
A witch's cackle
My fearful scream
Then quiet tears
It's just a dream!
This isn't real
The feeling will pass
It's just a dream
It cannot last
I barely breathe
Afraid of the noise
Scared of the shadows
Cast by my toys
It's monsters you see
With eyes squeezed tight
When you're afraid
To sleep at night
