Shadow Man
Shadow Man
You can move from
room to room,
House to house,
Or state to state.
Wherever you zoom off to,
His shadow will always be
There to haunt you.
He wants to touch you,
In a very private way,
How long can you stay?
Away from his icy touch?
You can't even
eat lunch
In a diner,
Without him sitting
In a booth beside you.
He's tall and thin
With a long black overcoat
And a dark top hat on.
You can't avoid
His eyes,
Because all you
See is black
When you look
At his face,
While he's hovering
Over your bed
Atnight.
Don't forget
To turn your
Night light on,
Maybe tonight
You’ll recognize
His face.
One thing is
Sure to happen,
He’ll be sharing
Your space
With you
As soon as
Your head hits
Your lace pillowcase.
Let's hope he
Doesn’t reach
Out to trace your
Face with his
Pointy fingernail.
