Innocence

Innocence 
You entered my room. I cringed at your sight. I knew you would soon become,
The monster of the night. I closed my eyes tight, maybe you would fade away. But instead you stole my innocence away.
 My mother took in her brother, a stray. He slept in the basement isn't that where all creepy things  lay?
