Nightmares on Repeat

Close your eyes, turn off the light
Will you sleep before midnight?
Dreamy voices should be unheard
Is that what you had preferred?

You know, of course, that tonight
Soon after you have said goodnight:
You'll hear the voice that will be heard
And it won't leave you undisturbed

'Cause if - by chance - you hear at night
The muffled voice of tearful fright
Then you will know that you have heard
The voice of fear and his word

Not impressed with this poem at all. Wrote it quickly today. I'm sure it could do with many improvements. Any suggestions are very welcome.

Ohhhhhh, very chilling. I love the poem! Everyone has felt like someone is watching them in the dark once in a while! No... just me? hehehe. I don't know how you come up with these fabulous rhymes, they are incredible!

Thank you for your comment. The rhymes where definitely the hardest part for this poem. I'm not sure why I chose such a difficult rhyme scheme.
