The dark that fills my room at night
Holds me tight
For the shadows that make me fright

Eye contact
With the dark figure standing in front of me
We both know that I can see
The unknown figure standing in front of me
With no eyelids
Corners of its mouth twisting ear to ear
It doesn't move
Yet, I feel this eerie sensation that its moving closer to me

Trying to fall asleep
But no escape from the eyes that taunt me when I weep
Always feeling like someone was beside me when I wake up
Useless cries
Heart beating loudly in my chest
I know I try my best
To ignore
But it simply won't do

I turn around in my bed
I know it's trying its hardest to make my mattress uncomfortable
I see its head in the corner of my eyes
Its eyes are boring into mine
It looks so humanoid, yet so uncanny
My mind can't save me from this mess
My hands are in full shakiness
Please...
I'm scared
Yet, the only thing it does is stare
