Terrified
I lay in my bed quiet, in thought
Enjoying some silence before bed
The air gets cold, my neck tingles
and I feel a sensation
I close my eyes, afraid of what's there
I'm terrified
When I open my eyes, there staring
staring at with cold
Expressionless eyes
My heart stops, and I cover my face
I peek afraid it was lies
I'm terrified
There in front of me stood no one
Where I had seen the girl before
So I relax, take a breath
Start to eye the door
Then I see those cold dead eyes
and I'm terrified
