Cracked
~~~~~~~~~~~
A single sunlight beam creeps in the window
pane
Radiating warmth upon the floor
Another glances
in, contemplating entrance
As the shadows knock lightly
on the door
The door is cracked to see if they come in
harmony
Or if only seeking reason for a gain
Friendly
so they seem, shifting shapes playfully
With not a
thought of tomorrow entertained
Dancing on the walls,
and in the cracks where spiders crawl
They make their
home in darkness where the light is
straining...
Awaiting...
Timid minds at work, where
they pull and they jerk
Until the form of ghastly
creatures find a shape
Laughing while they play, the
intellect frightened away
As the monsters make them
glance over their shoulders
Scared of a shadow, their
snickers roll into a bellow
Their newfound friend has
quickly turned into their prey
Sneaking...
Sneaking..creeping...
They will always be behind you...
Turn around
