You cower under the bedding
Darkness all round
Your restless rapid breathing
Is the only sound

Your eyes are wide open
Though you cannot see a thing
Pupils dialated and your hoping
A light the morning will bring

Sharp intake of breath
What was that you hear?
Is that death?
Who may suddenly appear

Oh morning bring your light
Bring birds and morning dew
The only monster that comes at night
Is the monster who lives within you.
