See Us

When they see me

I am but a dark silhouette

a siren monster under your bed

screeching

screaming

I am the magic of nightmares.

When they see you

It is creeping through

their daughter’s windows

there to sully their blood

and spoil her sheets.

When you see us

It’s point. aim. shoot.

Spirit murder

Assault on my soul.

Blood on your hands.

I pray you can’t sleep.

I’ll continue to haunt your dreams.
