Lurking

I sit here all alone

Watching it lurking there

It gnaws at the shadows

As though it doesn't care

I tremble in fear

While it rips and chews

Then it turns to stare

What will I do

There is no time to run

And if I did, where would I go

The smile it gives is sinister

As though it already knows

It stalks toward me 

Purposely slow

Its smile widens

And its eyes are aglow

Savage  wicked teeth 

For tearing prey apart

I blink my eyes

Again alone in the dark
