Only a Child Can See

Watch your back and turn on the light Cracked doll face won’t let you out of sight Baby’s nightmare third party at night Joining your lullaby holding baby so tight Cries so loud at the ceiling she stares Strange clatter I too can clearly hear No one is there; just me and my sugar I peeked but no one is on the gable I can hear my heartbeat as I walk Towards the baby God’s help I ask Stop! Someone toddles at my back Baby howled as she slowly turns black
