security blanket

slumber is coming

it's under your bed

these are the hours 

that you dread

out of nothing

you hear it move

scratching and clawing

at the tongue and groove

crying harder now

you are screaming inside

the creature is coming

and you must subside

it's clever hand

reaches around your neck

you wish for anything 

except bitter death

then it is done

the task has been handled

the security blanket

set straight the night time scandal

What suspense this you have written here. Great job! :)

this creeps me out...i think of this teddy i had when i was little...i would put him under the bed face down...then have nightmares that he would be lying there really ticked off and thinking of ways to get me back for putting him in that position.

i guess a lover can be much the same way, if treated like this.

here i am writing this review about nightmares, and in the background on tv, i hear the sound effects from that shower scene in "psycho"---
