there i am--
snuggled up--asleep in my bed
i wake up--
put my glasses on my head
look around--
why do i feel i'm being watched
can't be that--
must be the affects of the scotch
darkness reigns--
can't see anything in my room
chillbumps rise--
why do i feel impending doom
there's a noise--
softly stirring the chill night air
i call out--
"who's in my room? tell me, who's there?"
low chuckle--
oh, God...there IS somebody here!
trembling--
my heartbeat quickens with the fear
suddenly--
a hand reaches out, grabs my throat
i'm choking--
can't breathe--i hear a man's voice gloat
"sleep in peace--
close your pretty eyes one last time"
feel the knife--
as it stabs--penetrates my spine.
