Born into darkness I shy from the light <br />Descendant of shadow I feed on your fright <br />I dwell within your darkest dreams <br />The reason for your sleeping screams <br />The monster dwelling ‘neath the bed <br />The thing you think is in your head <br />I am the thing that goes he bump in the night <br />The shadows that dwell at the edge of your sight <br />The reason so many are afraid of the dark <br />Worry for my bite is worse than my bark <br />I am your nightmares, all things that you fear <br />I have been with you through all of your years <br />Descendant of shadow I feed on your fright <br />Descendant of darkness I shy from the light <br />In the midst of darkness I invade your dreams <br />As a child of nightmares I relish your screams <br />And now as the sun rises anew <br />I return to the shadows to wait for you <br />For you to return to the world without light <br />For the darkness to come with the coming of night <br />For in the dark you are my prey <br />I hunt your soul til’ break of day<br /><br />Tim Vallie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-demon-of-dreams/
