Eyes in the night
So many lights, like eyes in the night. I know they're not there, but it's a jungle in here.
The microwave stares at me, the refrigerator glares at me, the dishwasher gives me a fright.
Watching me, stalking me, the eyes follow me in the dark.
I try to sleep, but I daren’t count Sheep, fearing the beast may want to eat.
I lay in bed, hiding my head, swearing tomorrow I will cover them in black electrical tape.
