A Demon in my Room

All alone
Darkness falls
Pitch blackness all around
My heart thuds
My stomach churns
My skin drips with sweat

I hear the crickets hiss
I hear the furniture squeak
Its burning like a furnace

Lord help me
There is a demon in my room

It possesses like a python in pursuit
Haunting with its horns
Its bright eyes glowing in the dark
Clenching my cross
I pray to the heavenly father

There is a demon in my room

Reciting her virgin's verses
I watch my watch tick
Oh when will dawn be born
Alas I look around
The creature is a picture

Hidden behind the door maybe
Or waiting on the walls
With the forming figures
Or closed in the closet
Its beneath my bed
Or creeping in my sheets

There is a demon in my room

My bed shakes with vigor
I'm falling through it
My room is spinning now
I scream but nothing sounds
I reach out but cannot touch
I fight but cannot move

There is a demon in my room
And I can see it clearly now

The horned beast that beckoned like a dragon
Forced all into worship
That made flames fall from heaven
And marked everyone with the name
Or the number that stands for the name

Lord help me
It has come to visit me

I really enjoyed this.
I like the dark tone of it,
The fear that somewhere in the darkness
there is a danger.
