AFTER 3am

Sitting on my couch,
Alone some time
After 3 am.
I start to hear
Them whispering,
In my ear once again.
I try hard
To just not listen,
Because it is
A haunting sound.
I start to get paranoid
While I slowly,
Turn around.
I swear
That I just saw a shadow,
Hiding in the dark.
To my surprise
I hear the familiar sound,
Of my dog
He starts to bark.
Chills run up my spine,
I know
They are closing in,
I shudder at the memories
I have of them,
Crawling up my skin.
My body freezes up,
I can not move
My eyes dart side to side.
My instincts tell me to run,
To get the hell out of there
But all that I can do
Is sit alone,
In the dark
And stare.
They are coming,
After my soul
In the darkness,
I can not hide.
I start praying to God
And slowly shut my eyes.
They are trying,
To close in on me
But they can not approach.
Because my heart,
Is shining bright.
Like a miracle,
They have to back away
From me,
In the distance
There is a great big,
Glowing light.
