Darkness

Darkness is creeping up on me
Hes a bastard, he knows I'm scared!
I can feel my skin retracting
Hes caught me when I'm least prepared.

Its crawling all over my body
My flesh is reacting with dread
But the darkness, he has no mercy
And he's playing games with my head.

To scared to get up to switch the light on
To scared to lie here in the dark
I'm scared to breath out loudly
If only my dog would bark!

Something is lurking in the darkness
I can feel it with all of my senses
I wished I could get right out of here
But I'm helpless, I have no defences.

So I'll lie here quietly til morning
Surely as daylight comes back
The darkness will have nowhere to hide
And the light will destroy the dark.

There's only a few hours remaining
Til daybreak comes to my defence
I'm scared to death of these prowling dark nights,
At least everything in daylight makes sense!
