The Figure In The Dark

A figure always watches me

Each time i go to sleep.

She lays beside me silently

But i never get the creeps.

She whispers when i close my eyes

I hope you sleep alright.

She tells me this without fail

Every single night.

I used to think it scary

A figure watching me.

I'm getting rather used to

My nightly company.

I wonder how she lived her life 

Before the time we'd meet.

The presence of her body

I can sense it when i sleep.

I hear her reassurance 

When i am feeling shaken.

I know that she'll had vanished

When i begin to waken. 

I wake up every morning 

But iv'e no need to search.

Her shift's already started

She's changed and gone to work.
