They hide in the dark
All of a sudden, something in the closet falls
Dead silence
Something moves beneath your bed
A light randomly dies out

Stranded in the darkness
Your windows open
Don't want to go near to close it
Petrified in paranoia
Your cat wakes up.. Won't stop staring at your window
Moving around in your bed, the noise of the rustling sheets
Makes you think you'll alert them that you're hear
Brick still now..muscles clenched

Afraid to breathe
To blink
To move a centimeter out of place
Just stare at every part of your room
Something falls off your wall
Lands on the messy floor of your room
Seems the hours until light won't come quick enough
Trapped in the night
You think you see a little girl walk right through the door
There she is, standing tall.
Looking directly your way.
Takes a step closer to your bed
Staring directly at you, smiling.
A man with a gun tucked in his belt, wearing a large jacket
He steps through the door too

Clamp your eyes shut
Waiting for them to end you
You doze off..
Feels like the little girl has climbed inside your bed and is asleep next to you
You think the sheets are moving as if she's breathing
And the next time you open your eyes,
The sun is breaking the eerily shadowed room you were locked in
Survived through the night.
Gear up for the next one.
