[there's A Monster In My Closet] Poem by Empath In flames

There’s a monster in my closet
And I’m afraid for my life...
He watches me through the cracks of the shimmering moonlight.
Red eyes like mine,
Desensitise to
Numb my fear
Frozen inside
My heart beats
Echoed footsteps,
Lodged in time...

An uneasy feeling,
Subsides me
And I fall blind.
Images draw
Closer to me
Helplessly I feel
Claustrophobic the more he learns about me...

I don’t know how long
He has been here,
All I know is that
He is here now...
Sometimes I can hear him
Scream to the others
They flock around searching for me...
Perhaps I’m invisible or merely to distant from their world to see me...

There’s a monster in my closet
And I’m afraid...
That he will catch me,
With his disgusting human hands.
