Sleep Tight and Don't Let the Old Man Bite
"Sleep tight!"
He says
"Don't let the bed bugs bite"
She says
They exit
Leaving me Alone
They turn off the lights
Leaving me Alone in the Dark
They go to sleep
Leaving me Alone in the Dark, feeling Helpless
I wish that I had asked them to check around for the
Old man
But it's too late
I am Not Alone in the Dark anymore, I feel Helpless
The Old Man is staring at me
I am Not Alone in the Dark anymore, and I Am Defenceless
His eyes piercing through the crack opening in my closet
I am Not Alone in the Dark anymore, and I Am Powerless
The Old Man steps out
I am Not Alone in the Dark anymore, and I Am Weak
He walks towards me
I am Not Alone in the Dark anymore, and I am Shaking
He's Alone in the Dark now
I
Am
Gone
