Knight Mares
It was a late and dark Halloween night
Timmy lay waiting
Looking left
And then right
Blood streamed freely
Dried on his face
Mind screaming needing
A way out of this place
Dark damp and looming
Shadowed in the night
Inviting exciting
When he had arrived
Squeaking and creaking
His journey was one
Running and leaving
They wanted no fun
He lay at the top of the staircase
Peering into the darkness below
Hearing the sounds we all know
Frozen
Frozen
In fear
The time passed slowly
As if in a dream
A inside out world
A nightmare he screamed
Screams met with silence
They were inside his head
Timmy slipped from darkness
And awoke in his bed
Nite Mares ride quickly
Taking their prey
Never forget
When to sleep you lay
