Halloween Helpless

There they come, I see them from my window Although it's very dark The streets lights make them glow I closed and locked each shutter As it seems like I’m in Limbo While anxious for the sun to rise, I feel the panic grow They're coming here tonight And fear runs through my bones Although I've turned off all the lights They know that we are home They want and come to feast To strip us to the bone And eat our flesh and brains and blood. So close, I hear their groans With my children huddled 'round me As I hold my darling bride I pray to God for all I'm worth They cannot get inside Now I hear them on the front porch And it, can't be denied Once they're in the front door There’ll be no place to hide But my wife broke free,from me And headed to the door In all these years I've never seen My wife so brave before I stretched my arm out to her "Don't open" I implored Then twenty costumed kids rushed in Just like the year before
