It Creeps

It creeps

It creeps up and you pray it won’t stay
Behind me see it skittering my way
You wonder at its timetable 
What if it comes when I’m not able

It’s being following me as I remember 
And I feel eternity burning in it’s embers
So without rest it goes on and on
Smiling and humming it’s song.
