The Creature

The Creature 

The lights that glowed within the night

Were cats eyes that were filled with fright

As on the rooftop something sat

And stared down at the frightened cat

Silhouetted on the roof

The creature licked a broken tooth

And waited for the boy to sleep

Before it could then creep

Through the window, through the pane

Drawn towards the pulsing vein

It smelled the blood before the bite

And now the time was right

The window opened magically 

The boy fought... Oh so tragically 

And when the blood flowed never more 

The creature ran across the floor 

And dived into the black again

This night it shall be free of pain

But only 'til the new moon glows

Who's next? No one knows!
