A Quiet Break, Continued,

The shadows getting closer,
I can now see form and shape.
It's body all hunched, arm's hanging down,
Cloaked in a big black Cape.

It's looking up at my window,
I try to hide behind the wall.
What I can see from my hiding place,
It must be around seven feet tall.

It's just got through the gateway,
But now it's moved out of sight.
What does it want, what have I done ?
It's in the middle of the night.

I want to get out,
But where could I go ?
I'm stuck way out here,
In a place I don't know.

It's coming to get me,
I keep asking myself why?
Please GOD will you help me,
I don't want to die.

It's looking through my window,
Now it's trying at the door.
My body won't stop shaking,
I can't take this anymore.

It's got through to the hallway,
Now it's looking straight at me.
Is it a corpse or a phantom?
I don't know what it could be.

Then all of a sudden,
A blood curdling scream.
I jump from my bed.
It was only a dream.
