Little Nightmares

Him

He sat waiting for me

He always sat waiting for me

Every night he would wait for me to wake up

Every night he would stare at me, waiting

I never knew why

I never knew what he wanted.

All I know is that he had tendrils full of dripping spikes.

Eyes so bright, they burnt into my mind.

Breaths so haggard I felt breathless

And then the most confusing of all

Was the charming little smile he would give me every night.

He sat waiting and watching for years

Until

I woke up to him next to my bed

He gave his sweet little smile before leaning in

And whispering into my ear.

"It's Time"
