Lifeless

I am the thing that hides under your bed,
You are frightened to sleep because of me.
Every day, it's the sight of me you dread.
It is not my pain that you want to see.

I am the thing that hides silent at night.
You look 'round the corner, then you walk on.
Every day you are in this state of fright.
It will not be long before you are gone.

I am the thing that you see in your dreams.
You're scared of me for what I can manage.
Every day, I rip your mind at the seams.
It is your fault for causing this damage.

As your lifeless body lies on your bed,
I close in, I am the darkness you dread.
