Whispers Can Be Scary
Whispers can be scary if you're alone.
Voices can sound sinister uttered low.
Branches scrape windows; wind murmurs a moan.
Whispers can be scary if you're alone.
Imagine you go to answer the phone.
"I see you," says a hushed voice you don't know.
Whispers can be scary if you're alone.
Voices can sound sinister uttered low.

(sorry I wrote wrong the last name of the sponsor the first time I entered this. I knew the right name, but my ditzy brain still wrote it wrong!)
