It Waits For You
It’s hiding in your closet or under your bed.
It patiently waits until you rest your sweet head.
And when the sandman's song ends, it begins to strike;
moving softly, yet swiftly, like dark defeats light.
What is it after? What does it want from poor me?
Your soul is the attraction; innocent and free.
As the twilight approaches, it prepares to feed.
As you sleep unprotected, it slowly proceeds.
Through the darkness, it soars as you peacefully sleep.
It gently lingers inches above your bed sheets.
And when you look helpless and your fate appears set,
pure light enters your room and annihilates it!
When all may seem lost, when you look weak and alone,
Your Guardian will protect you from the unknown!
