We'Re Here
In the shadows, we watch.
As you live on your life.
You think this home is only for you,
but we are always behind you.
Up in the attic, down in the basement.
We taunt you, tease you.
Make you our prey.
Draining you of your energy.
We play among your halls,
and speak to give you a scare.
You are worried knowing you live alone.
Yet you know you are not on your own.
Your heart rate rises when you smell us.
The chills make you shiver,
and the hairs stand on end.
You call out and demand to know who's there.
Knowing that only an empty space surrounds you.
Listen hard as we speak loudly,
"We're here!!"
