Your lying in bed,
Quickly, pull the blanket over your head.
Don't let him see your eyes,
For it might give away your fear.
He's coming closer, shhh don't move,
stalking through the darkness,
close your eyes, 
what's that they always say?
"think happy thoughts" yeah thats it.
don't stir, he might see you.
he's standing over you, 
you can see his hand moving closer, 
he's pulling the blanket back.
keep your eyes closed, don't look at him.
bite your tongue to keep from screaming.
the taste of blood fills your mouth.
finally, he leaves...leaves with your innocence,
your happiness, leaving you to feel guilty, and ashamed,
leaving you to hurt...
