Monster In the Dark

"Shhh!comes from the shadows in the dark." A whisper follows;'Kevin,are you awake?' A whisper, you've heard before Pulling the sheets tighter As if trying to barricade yourself in Hoping this time it'll hide you from him His silhouette you now see, moving closer, Closer, closer he's getting closer to me Terrified and shaking wishing it would end Believing it's your fault not his Listening to your little heart beat Pound, Pound, Pound Footsteps they echo, off the wooden ground Inching his way further, from your door Go away, Go away, you chant in your mind Hoping God's listening Praying he'll answer this time Then out of nowhere comes a loud "BANG"! The shadow walks with determination Back the way he came As his shadow moves further Back to the dark Your mind now rests, A smile is sparked I quickly said;"Thank you Lord!" I sincerely mean it From the bottom Of my heart R.K.H
