Lurking, watching.
Each move, I make.
Touching me.
As my back was turned.
Sampling me, tasting me.
Smelling, the fear within.
Watching me.
With a lidless eye.
A sudden chill.
Shiver and breeze.
It passes behind me.
Muted, I wish to see.
What demon untold?
What gifts?

Herald unknown.
Your presence, I feel.
Cold, as death.
Swift, as wind.
Bringer of dread and sorrow.
Nightly shadow, of dreams.
With each passing moment.
Ever closer, you creep.
Ever nearer - It seems.

Compelled, in sleep.
Yet full of senses.
