They sit waiting in this dark room
Listening to thunder's angry boom
Their eyes aglow with murderous light
Promising a glorious fight
They smile and their fangs shine
I feel their hunger for this blood of mine
One behind me, and I know I'm caught
It whispers "We're here, whether you want us or not"
I turn and strike, it's all I can do
The knife blade gleams as it passes through
Its neck, and the blood paints the wall
It dies with one last strangled call
The one in the corner begins to stand
As I ready the knife in my hand
Its claws extend, its laugh in the air
I wait for its attack, because I don't dare
It says "You and I shall not part"
Just as I lunge forward and stab its heart
It sinks to the floor and dies without a sound
And lays face up upon the ground
They are finally, finally dead
And there is finally peace in my head
I look back as I open the door
To see myself, dead upon the floor

I feel like this poem would be better without the rhyme. It would free you to describe the scenario a little better.
