did you never know
of the monster that lives under your bed?
eyes that watch everything you do
ears that hear every word that is said
have you never felt it, hiding among your discarded dreams,
your nightmares,
feasting on them
growing stronger bit by bit.
have you never seen it,
hovering above you as you try to sleep,
After it crawls out of the dark
slowly creeping
its tentacles into your dreams,
leaving its mark.
Leaving you
