It Comes At Night
At night.
At night the wind howls.
At night the wind howls and it shakes the trees
At night the wind howls and it shakes the trees and the trees hit your
window..
At night the wolves howl.
At night the wolves howl and they scare the children
At night the wolves howl and they scare the children and the children cry..
At night the parents go to bed.
At night the parents go to bed and they can’t hear you
At night the parents go to bed and can’t hear you and you cry for their
help..
And at night you can’t see!
At night you can’t see what’s right in front of you
At night you can’t see what’s right in front of you when you leave the safety
of your bed..
At night it comes.
At night it comes, and creeps through your door
At night it creeps through your door when you’re most vulnerable
At night it’s right there when you’re most vulnerable and hangs over you,
waiting for you to open your eyes..
And in the morning.
In the morning when you wake up
In the morning when you wake up, it stares at you from the crack in your
closet doors
In the morning when you get out of bed it sits there watching, waiting for
you
In the morning it waits for you..to get closer.
