Shadow Man

 

You can move from

room to room,

House to house,

Or state to state.

 

Wherever you zoom off to,

His shadow will always be

There to haunt you.

 

He wants to touch you,

In a very private way,

How long can you stay

Away from his icy touch?

 

You can't even

Eat lunch

In a diner,

Without him sitting

In a booth beside you.

 

He's tall and thin

With a long black overcoat

And a dark top hat on.

 

You can't avoid

His eyes,

Because all you

See is black

When you look

At his face,

While he's hovering

Over your bed

At night.

 

Don't forget

To turn your

Night light on,

Maybe tonight

You’ll recognize

His face.

 

One thing is

Sure to happen,

He’ll be sharing

Your space

With you

As soon as

Your head hits

Your lace pillowcase.

 

Let's hope he

Doesn’t reach

Out to trace your

Face with his

Pointy fingernail.

 

You're his icy thrill,

the thrill of a chase!
