                      What 
                   lurks between
               these walls,

       that
I can not
see,

It 
creeps,
    crawls,

and 

disturbs
     my
          sleep -

Christ!

What Is this,
                that
                  haunts me ?

When
     I reach 
            over

    to
       turn on
             the
               lights -

an 
    eerie
       darkness,

               fall upon
                        the
                           room -

                    What 
              I heard,

         I no longer
     hear -

             And
                 a hush walked
                    in -
                         calmly

                             For it 
                                 has silenced

                           to 
                      its muted 
                 death!

             Could 
         it be,

    these things
I fear,

         do not exist?
