the longer we stray from the light

As A Creature’s Movement Loudens, Will It Surface, There’s No Knowing 

Is My Room No Longer Safe? Must I Run Away From Here? 

But In The Heart There Sleeps A Friend To Fight Your Fright 

Lamps Went Out, And Parents Left, So You No Longer Felt Protected 

Absolute Terror In The Vast Gloom That’s Ever Growing 

Step Down, Then Sit, And Show The Darkness That You Possess Light 

The Storybooks Ending Brought No Comfort, As Expected 

A Dreadful Presence Feels This Child’s Mind With Fear
