I thought I heard the bogey man; it scared me half to death <br />I was frozen to the spot and I had to hold my breath <br />I wondered if he could see me, if he could smell my fear <br />I thought I felt him breathing, a whisper in my ear <br /> <br />My muscles turned to jelly, veins started to pulsate <br />My hands over my eyes, I didn’t want to see my fate <br />My heart started racing, each beat a thunderous roar <br />My pupils dilated, with the opening of the door <br /> <br />I dived into the covers, pulled the pillow over my head <br />I prayed he wouldn’t get me; I’d be safe inside my bed <br />I waited for the moment, in my bedroom he did creep <br />I braced myself for his words…….. <br /> <br />“Mummy, I can’t sleep”<br /><br />Paula Robinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bogey-man/
