Creep
Your heart is pounding,
You can hear the whispers,
Closing in,
Soft footsteps follow your every turn,
You beg yourself,
Don't run,
A soft slithering,
An eerie creaking,
Something is in the dark creeping,
Your breath quickens,
Your pace ever faster,
But the monster,
Slides quietly after,
You break into a run,
Terrified,
Of what you've done,
The monster is your penance,
Your grief,
From a foul deed,
None would believe,
You trip, slip, and slam,
Your ankle is done for,
You turn to scream,
And instead are greeted,
By a little dog,
Instead of a nightmarish scene
