Endless Nightmare
I flip the light switch
and leap into bed.
I dare not to flinch
when I see what's ahead.
I glance over by the bookcase
and there it lies.
It's far too dark to see it's face,
but visible are it's beady red eyes.
I stare in awe
but then I hear it's gut-wrenching guffaw.
I quickly pull the blanket over my head,
but there, I see more red.
A shriek escapes my throat,
But it comes out as a quiet croak.
Suddenly I'm surrounded
and in my chest, my heart pounded.
Two slimy hands grip into my feet,
making my heart skip a beat.
Darkness swallows me whole,
my life, this beast stole.
