Shadows

As shadows dance on my wall, I lie awake in bed. Who has come to call? Was that a noise in the hall? Or was it just in my head? As shadows dance on my wall. Did I lock the door? I can’t recall. I’m filled with a sense of dread. Who has come to call? I hear no sounds at all. Only silence instead. As shadows dance on my wall. Into the darkness I call, “I’ll fill you full of lead!” Who has come to call? Fleeing footsteps did not fall, But this feeling I cannot shed, As shadows dance on my wall. Who has come to call?
