Shadows Creep, I Lost Sleep

Shadows Creep, I Lost Sleep Shadows crept into my room late at night those dark nasty ones with razor like teeth Defiant I soon dared to taunt and fight slimy ones prancing down and underneath Climbing ones scratched slowly up moving walls fat, dark and nasty ones scattered about Shrieking ones gave out wicked little calls some cursed my soul with demonic shout Last came ever patient and slashing kind creeping in so close to my shaking bed Searching very slow for bare toes to find clawing bed sheets now wrapped over my head A light blasts on from lamp on my nightstand Strange, they vanished, I never lifted my hand!
