Shhhh...

Who's that behind you,

Watching silently?

Not a "who",but rather a "what",

Grinning maniaclly.

With sharp teeth and

Blood red eyes.

Inching closer and closer

As you read these lines.

Did you hear something squeek?

Or maybe a "thump"?

They're slowly creeping towards you,

Did you feel something bump?

Oh don't turn around now,

You'll be very dissapointed.

They won't show themselves,

Until you're tucked nicely in your bed.

And as you are asleep,

They will carry on with what they do best.

To feed on people without waking them from their rest.

Tearing and chewing

People's flesh,

Drinking blood

To satisfy their appetite.

What's that,

Beneath your bed?

A creature so hideous,

A creature full of dread

A creature made of your worst nightmares.

A creature that feeds on your despair.

Shhhh...

What's that behind you,

Watching silently?
