Things in the Night

Things in the Night

A Poem by Jake Staffeld
"

Apparently, it's scary.

"
As you turn out the light
Hear the bump
A creak of a stair
The moan of a door

Fight the sleep
Hope that it's all 
In your imagination
As you lay down

Steps come down the hall
And from under the bed
Your childhood nightmares
Have come alive

Turn on the light
They disappear
Get back in bed
They return

Have a good night
A voice says
But you're already gone
