Silent Scream

Come over here.
 Hush, hush quiet.
 Thread your arm through mine, cover up your ears.
 Hush, hush quiet.
 Eyes like coals, burning hot.
 A stench a smell a fetid breath.
 A bellowing roar, the crack of a plate.
 Windows tremble and the walls shake.
 Hold on tight, no sound must you make.
 Hush, hush quiet.
 Ponderous feet the stairs do meet,
 slamming doors now a silence to greet.
 Move if you must, I cannot tell.
 Stay invisible in this well.
 Hush, hush quiet,
 the monsters awake.
