The floorboards creak beneath a weight unseen,
Where moonlight fades to shades of sickly green.
A freezing breath brush softly past your ear,
The silent language of a rising fear.
In every corner, hollow eyes ignite,
To watch you shiver in the dead of night.
The mirror shows a face that isn't yours,
As scratching fingers claw behind the doors.
Don't close your eyes or try to drift away,
The dark has teeth that will not let you stay.
