The creature behind the door

Here I hear a tapping

At my closet door

So I jump to the floor

Looking over at the knob

I know he is playing a joke

That stupid dope

But as I grow nearer 

It grows louder 

Faster and more angry in the pounding

When I open to see the sound

Nothing is to be found

I close the door

Scurry across the floor

Laugh it off

With a cough

But my bed begins to shake

Like there is an earthquake 

But nothing else is moving

So I back away

It will be okay

I catch myself I the mirror

To reveal something scarier

He is behind me

All the darkness to see

And in my silent cry

I fell to my demise

And in me he lies

The creature behind the door

I. Am no more
