Monster Monster
By PJ Perry
Monster monster in the dark
Who gave rise to thee?
Your furnaced eyes shoot fire and spark
They burn, rage savagely
Your coned sharp teeth
Filed into grin
Beyond belief
You're coming in
You do knock first
not to be polite
But to make dread worse
Before you jump me in the night
You never come when I'm awake
Or even in my sleep
It's the in between you make me shake
When my eyes can hardly peep
Under the covers I do hide
I can hear you all around me
To me you come and sit beside
For you own the skeleton key
You feed from my fear
For as long as it takes
If it takes all year
To eat my quakes
And when I feel a little brave
Through a hole I'll have a peek
But courageousness you do not crave
You've left to find more of the weak!
