0509

driven mad by nothing there,
the darkness came to show a scare,
blanketed from light in my own thought,
when something there is more than naught,
exposing fears of grabbing nails,
shining teeth and pointed tails,
they come for me in the depths of mind,
i cannot shut my eyes to make me blind,
blurred out of focus they show glimpses of clear,
adding more to my own drowning fear,
they guard the switch to turn on the light,
time and my sanity tested for the rest of the night.
