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
