Why do our beds creak?

Why does the water always leak?

Why does the door slowly open or close with a horrid groan?

And don't forget about the windows' moan. 

What about that prick on the back of your neck?

Under the bed, too scared to check. 

Always remember those footsteps all around the house.

Always loud, but somehow, quieter than any mouse.

Ever set down something down, then turn around to grab it, and find that it is not there?

Then it feels like someone is breathing on you, every thing in you freaks out, every little hair.

In the dark, we are never alone,

Even if you use a light, on your ever so clever phone. 

They are always there, they just like night more.

And they love to make lots of fearful noises, on the floor.

And the only time you see them, in in your worst nightmares, only in the dark.

And when you see them, everything stops, including your heart.
