How He Died

you sit in bed warm you feel warm 
but inside you're ice 
it's dark nothing in sight
ignore the voices behind the door
ignore the pounding of steps on the floor
do anything except look 
play a game or read a book 
but don't you dare show them that you know they're here 
because they feed on fear 
but wait is that nothing you hear? 
no its not ,how could you be so blind? 
the voices didn't stop..
they're coming from behind.
