I decide to take a hot shower
Stirred awake by something while dreaming
Foggy; much like the mirror steaming

Onto the mat my feet are stepping
Faintly I hear a sudden schlepping
Masked somewhat by the faucet leaking
Cannot deny there came a creaking

Over pounding heart, quiet rapping
Outside the bathroom door, rap-tapping
My stomach contents begin to sour,
Evil reigns in the bewitching hour

With quickened breath and tears a streaming
The door opens and something/'/s gleaming
Gnashing yellow teeth to my horror
Soulless eyes that shook me to my core

It stepped inside, skillfully trapping
Its raspy breath like thunder clapping
Speaking slowly, perhaps with sorrow,
Demanding of my soul to borrow

Licking its lips, and with face beaming,
My voice lost, but silently screaming
A cackle, then its wings a flapping,
Turned, and began eagerly lapping

Frightened to move, I simply cower-
From this supernatural power
Slowly sinking to the cold, damp floor
I awoke on this Earth, nevermore.

Uncharacteristically dour,
I decide to take a hot shower
Stirred awake by something while dreaming
Foggy; much like the mirror steaming

Onto the mat my feet are stepping
Faintly I hear a sudden schlepping
Masked somewhat by the faucet leaking
Cannot deny there came a creaking

Over pounding heart, quiet rapping
Outside the bathroom door, rap-tapping
My stomach contents begin to sour,
Evil reigns in the bewitching hour

With quickened breath and tears a streaming
The door opens and something/'/s gleaming
Gnashing yellow teeth to my horror
Soulless eyes that shook me to my core

It stepped inside, skillfully trapping
Its raspy breath like thunder clapping
Speaking slowly, perhaps with sorrow,
Demanding of my soul to borrow

Licking its lips, and with face beaming,
My voice lost, but silently screaming
A cackle, then its wings a flapping,
Turned, and began eagerly lapping

Frightened to move, I simply cower-
From this supernatural power
Slowly sinking to the cold, damp floor
I awoke on this Earth, nevermore.
