Do not read this Poem
I said not to read this,
Foolish child
It's to late now
Or can you stop?
It is temptation
To know fear
In the flesh
Now don't worry child
It will only hurt
A little
Do you remember
Those dark nights
Turning off the lights
And sprinting to your bed
As dark shadows
Slashed at your
Shaking ankle
Heart pounding
As the dark sets on
Thickly
A syrup filling your lungs
How the sheets.
They were your protection
Wraped tightly around you
Nothing could penetrate them
But as the night sets in
Not even light can save you now
As the flickering of candles
Cast light upon aproching shadows
Oh the cold
The shivers
The standing hair
Your sheets a permafrost
Freezing you in place
Only able to watch in fear
Shadows lapping hungrly at your bed
As things unknown
Approach
The sounds
The gentle squeek of floorboards
The bruixng of incisors
Sorounding you
Enveloping you
You feel it
The vibration
Of a hundred warm bodies
Nawing
Clawing
Pounding into your skull
Theres no escape
No way
It's far to late now
Think you can sleep?
Do you really want to close your eyes?
Is that wise?
Do you think your alone?
Are you that foolish?
Why don't you open your eyes
Let me enlighten you
Let the dark come to the light
Let your fear
Become flesh
Don't worry child
It will only hurt
A little
