"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
