monsters dangled from corner shelves
a demon stood hillside, straight from hell
while shadows that were never really there
breathed down my neck
and yet
when the light came on for me to check
there was nothing in my room to find
" I guess it was only in my mind"
I would always think-
- right up until, the very next time
I would see monsters dangle from my corner shelves
a demon stand hillside, straight from hell
a shadow I really hoped was not there
would look at me as i passed by
take four long strides
and come to stand behind
- just to breathe down my neck
always gone by next bed check
