The star of your nightmares.
The essence of your being.
It lurks in the dark
Bringing such fright.
It preys on your fears
But only at night.
It drains the life
From your inner core.
You cry with despair
Yet it still wants more.
You try to run,
You try to hide.
But there’s not escape
From what lies inside.
Quietly it gathers strength,
Waiting deep within.
You don’t understand why,
What could it have been?
You await the day
When all will be revealed.
The opening of memories
That once were sealed.
The terror will remain
Until those trying times.
The end and the beginning
Of a life that’s always mine.
