Midnight squirmed
Uncomfortably in the corners.
I breathed deep
and checked
for the blue-eyed
monsters.
Leaving the rest
In peace.
My closet was empty
So I turned the lights
On
And stared
At the open
Door
That stared back
At my open
Soul
And watched me
Shake
Myself to sleep.

Hmm it seems like this has a deeper meaning to it then at face value if that makes sense. I liked it. It seemed like you left it open for contemplation of what was going on. Good job!
Thank you for entering and good luck in the contest! ( = -

yes. well it has to do with abuse and the nightmares and general fear that comes every night even a long time afterwards. i still see him everywhere, and in some abstract way think that he's hiding in every corner of my room the way a child gets afraid of monsters in the closet.
i hope you liked it. and thanks for letting me enter. -

yeah, that's what I thought you meant by it. I can relate in a way. So if you ever need to talk I'll listen.
