THE DEVIL in the shadows

frozen as a child

with just a glimpse, a thought

of this monster underneath my bed

disturbed by the cold chill

the scratches on the wooden floor

the whispers crawling in my head

torment never a resting moment 

burying  my face into the pillow

the laughter at my tears

breathless as panic sets in

its eyes lock with mine

growing darker feeding on my fears

empty no love no remorse

there's no soul in this shadow

never felt fear and pain at this level

screaming oh lord help me please

i'm afraid child its not your father

terrified face to face with the devil 

haunted by the shadows of the night

hoping that my prayers will be answered

want to cry myself to sleep no more

tortured by the images

is he hiding in the corner,beneath the bed

or behind the closet door
