Graveyard Shortcut

 ================================

Hiding in the shadows, there
at the corner of my eye,
I am slowly made aware
there is someone else nearby.

"Who is that," I bellow then,
"hiding in the shadows there?"
"I've no use for boogeymen!",
I yell into empty air.

One more sheepish peek I dare,
feeling silly to have thought,
hiding in the shadows, there
was some threat that there was not....

But my heart begins to race
when that cursed glance I spare,
suddenly reveals a face
hiding in the shadows there!
