My favorite thing to do
Is watch as you hide,
Under the covers
Is where you'll die inside.
When you fall asleep,
I won't make a noise,
I'll pet your lazy head,
And search through your toys.
I find what I want,
And slip into your bed,
Breathing on your face
Every night until you're dead.
You don't know I'm here.
I'm almost within sight.
You have the wrong fear,
I'm a shadow made of light.
