As the light goes off he opens his eyes;
drawn to innocence by their sheepish cries.
Lurking in black closets and under beds,
he patiently waits to carve some heads.
They clench their blankets and shiver in fear;
somehow knowing that the end is near.
And when they begin to fall asleep,
he is on them in a sinister creep.
The room fills with tears and screams,
he rips their flesh at every seam.
Then he devours the remains of the soul;
licking his lips as he swallows it whole.
And when he completes his sinful work,
he returns to hell with a satisfied smirk.
