Tide (Poems)

High tide - Monster

There's a monster in the room

There's an unsettling feeling of impending doom

I look under the bed

Nothing...My stomach sinks and fills with dread

It's in here somewhere I can feel it

I look around the dark room that's only moonlit

Nothing...Yet I can feel the monster radiating hate

I stand up and walk towards the closet I stop and hesitate

Slowly I reach for the door handle

I open it and something falls out making me jump in fright but its only my sandal

I put a hand to my pounding heart

I can feel the monsters anguish now it's off the chart

I'm getting closer...

I'm so scared that I start to lose my composure

I feel the monster it's corrupted and vile

It's oh so very hostile

I let out a breath I was holding and turn my head

I look on the other side of the bed

I catch a glimpse in the mirror and do a double take

It's gotta be a mistake...

I see the monster staring right back at me I look at it straight in the eye..My very own eyes
