The Sounds of the Shadows
I go to my room to sleep.
I feel as if my slumber is near.
My eyes close and my slumber starts to turn deep.
As I hear footsteps quickly scurry across across my floor, I am filled with fear.
I get up to check what was there.
Due to the dark, I couldn't see a thing.
I try to let my eyes adjust, but with the feeling in my chest, I didn't dare.
I try to go to back to bed, I then hear my ears start to ring.
Voices start to manifest in the back of my mind.
Trying to ignore them, I adjust myself, There was then a tremendous thud that appeared to be on my kitchen floor.
As I jump out of bed, I wish my eyes would've been more kind.
Because I saw a masked man, sitting in my chair, saying "you should really lock your door".
