It crawls over skin
Shudders at light
Quiet as death
Whispers at night
Lives in the shadows
Black as black as black as black
It hovers above
Haunts all your dreams
Drinks up the dark
Feeds off your screams
Lives in the shadows
Black as black as black as black
It raises cat's hackels
Hisses in ears
Growls in darkness
Screeches as it nears
Lives in the shadows
Black as black as black as black
Skin as white as fallen snow
Blood as black as sin
Eyes as red as fire's glow
Teeth sharp to cut the skin
Lives in the shadows
Black as black as black as black
Hide all the children
Cover their ears
Tell them "Be Silent"
"Don't look as it nears"
Lives in the shadows
Black as black as black as black
Shadows as black as black as black
Black as black
Shadows black
Author notes
The timing may be off for a few of the lines, but the overall effect (on me, anyway) is exactly what I was going for.
Any ideas on how to make it scarier?

Hehehe. I like this one too. Creepy. I don't really like the last 3 lines though, the ending could use something else
