Fear

A flutter of leaves,
a scratching under your bed-
a rumble in the closet,
and a shrieking fills your head.

Nowhere to run to,
nowhere to hide-
the only way out now,
is committing suicide.

Out goes your nightlight,
foot steps up the stairs-
why would god kill you?
Why do you care?

A flash of lightning,
a mad man over your bed-
can't even scream,
soon you will be dead.

Get up and run,
a slash at your legs-
flat on your face,
roll over and beg.

Another flash of light,
you're pinned to the ground-
a knife through your throat,
and in your own blood you drown.

You betrayed me,
now you die-
nobody ever loved you,
so why do they cry?
