It Is Right Behind You

It is right behind you

Just like it always is

Stalking, watching, waiting

For a moment just like this

I can see it there

Watching behind your shoulder

Its long black claws

Creeping closer

As the room gets slightly colder

And if you ever are alone

And you feel it standing there

In a dark and empty home,

With its dark and empty stare,

Don’t let it know you know it’s there

No matter how you feel

Because

The moment you believe in it

Is the moment that it’s real
