The Creature

Was in the kitchen Heard water dripping Wish I didn't hear it That's when I saw The creature living under the sink Shook in terror As I heard the rumor Look into its face U'll be dead Inch by inch it raised its read Creepy smile coming into view Blood flowing underneath the skull Skin peeled I was scared,tears rushing It came closer It's breath was calm It held me in the way I needed Held me till I was fine Till my breathing calmed Looked at me saw its smile Made me smile Then I knew We weren't so different after all I held its face Till it found comfort in me like I did Before I knew The sun was hurrying up It let me go waved at me Then I walked away Hoping to meet the creature again
