Nightmare

Staring out the window at a cold stormy night
the moon is lighted up but no one is in sight
the sound of thunder echos in my ears
I'm all alone in an empty house, no one else is here

I hear whispers coming from down the hall
I hear the sounds of children laughing and the bouncing of a ball
I curl up underneath the blankets hoping the terrors will disappear
but I hear footsteps walking close to me, so close almost near

I want to let out a scream but I'm to scare to say a word
Yet I know if I do, I will not be heard
than the footsteps are closer right above me
I want to take off this blanket so that I can see

But I'm afraid of what or who is standing by my bed
if I look to see will I soon be dead
I know its sounds a little silly but I have shivers down my spine
My body is trembling, yeah I don't feel fine

Than I hear it, the sound of breathing right in front of me
My blood is now rushing right through my body
than I feel it, claws ripping at my head
the pain is overwhelming, I just want to be dead

I lift the blanket off me and see a creature in my view
with long sharp fangs, I know my life is through
I'm start screaming now as he claws at my head
I feel the flesh ripping from me and the blood dripping on my bed

Than I jump right out of my bed and run
I hear it right behind me, if I stop my life is done
I run out of my front door to the stormy night
than I feel my body going weak, to weak to even fight

My body starts to slow I no longer have the strength to run
I hear the howl of the creature behind me, I know that I'm done
Hes getting closer now and I know he yearns for the taste of blood
than I hear the sounds of ringing and I soon wake up
