He's There!

He's There!



As I sleep,

I can feel

his face

inches away

from my face.



I can feel his

cold icy breath

blowing on me

as I dream.



I can detect

his presence

as I try to lay

still and pretend

not to know.



But he knows

that I know

that he's there.



He laughs at 

me in a deep

throaty laugh,

and I try to scream

but it's not a dream

my fear has a hold on me.



He's there to haunt me

and feel of me.
